PDS J2 connector Question

Kuz · 05-13-2008, 07:49 PM

Can the J2 connectors for a PDS system be handmade or are you limited to factory plugs? I have not seen any J2 plugs listed on any parts website. Based on the image below the jumper plug seems easy to make.

I have heard them referred to as Molex connectors.

I have purchased a red Freedom chip on ebay for $4 + shipping.

I took an all terrain and made it a freedom with some red 16 gauge powerwire. Just pulled out the silicoane tits and put in the wire per the drawing you have. Made sure the stripped wire was long enough to contact the terminals inside the controller. Seems to work fine. Just make sure you follow the instructions in the manual for changing the chip ( actually a plug)...I have never seen on, but I imagine the factory plugs (chips0 have the little metal tube connectors in the slot to slip over the pins inthe controller. Hadn't bought anything like that in a while, but Radio Shack probably has the tubes and you just insert the right size wire. The 16 AWG fits tigghtly in the plug and seems to work fine. If you can get afactory one for 4 bucks as the other poster suggests, that wouldprobably be the safer way to go. Don;tknow how sensitive the controllers are yet, as I have just got in this game, as I bought a 2000 PDS cart that wasn't running and am getting my feet (well up to my eyebrows) wet on it now.
