Anybody know a good source for those 2 prong trailer plug connectors that Jaguar seemed to use everywhere?
The ones they sell in the auto parts stores are a wee bit small.
I need to splice one into my speedometer wires that go to my speedo transducer on the transmission.
Thanks.
Did you check at your local U-Haul place - they usually carry those ends on a pigtail wire.
I think im just going to buy some more modern decent 2-wire connectors that click and wire them into both sides.
Donât know what you mean by âclickâ - remember you want a âwaterproofâ type connection to minimize water conduction across terminals.
There are a lot of 2 wire waterproof connectors out there that click rather than plug.
Iâll wire to transducer too. If transducer ever needs replacing again, it will need to be spliced with the new connector.
Will try to Google âclickâ type since just not comprehending - thanks.
Hello Robin - search Google to no avail for âclick typeâ connector, then returned here to ask Greg for more description, as I had never heard that terminology used in approx. 65 years of wiring experience, and I see your post of the fitting with the lock tab - didnât realize this had the nickname of âclick typeâ connector - thanks - so yes Greg, I see your point in upgrading to this newer type connector if possible to get for the correct wire gauge used for the transmission transducer.
I think the keys was using waterproof in the search bar.
Good idea.
My only reservation is that some of the locking connectors can be frustratingly difficult to unlock when the need arisesâŚespecially after the plastic hardens a bit with age and heat. The press-to-release tabs get very stiff.
If you change your mind (and Iâm not suggesting you should) the âtrailer plugâ style as you pictured really isnât all that bad. With a smear of grease on the pins youâd probably be OK for umpteen years.

I actually would prefer sticking to stock/oem plugs. But this 2 prong style is sold today only as a âtrailer plugâ. They are the same size metal prongs, BUT the plug on our cars is slightly bigger, with the two connections about 1/16" further apart. If i plug the two different sizes together, the two male poles must angle out a bit, which Iâm afraid will bend/break them.
I went to NAPA, and they didnât have a clue.
Is there any cheap electrical part for our cars that comes with the same size plug that I could buy?
Otherwise, Iâll be forced to splice in the two smaller trailer plugs (which quality ainât that great I can tell), or a more modern waterproof two prong clicking plug of higher quality.
How about an old distributor pick up? Jaguar or older MoparâŚ
Ooo, yeah! I forgot about those. Iâll check. Thanks.
And yes, the plug for our distributor pickup is exactly the same size.
MoparâŚgood idea. Much cheaper than our $140 Lucas one!
Found a Standard Motor LX102 pickup coil for $25. Kinda expensive for just a plug, but this is one place I feel like going OEM. 
If I or next owner ever needs to replace transducer, plug and play.
Appreciate all the helpâŚthe cheapish pickup coil ended up being the right size, but the female plug is 2mm too shallow, so wont seal. Doh.
I am just going ahead and splicing in these Delphi plugs. Anybody recommend words of wisdom if permanent plug going to speedo should be male or female?
6 of one 1/2 dozen of the other.
The rule is you put the one with the more exposed terminals and more prone to short-circuiting by accident to the component side and the more protected one to the source side.
Technically speaking, the component side here, is the hot side (kind of)
Blows that theory up, I think.
Technically speaking you are (kind of) correct, but the rule still stands.
