Where can I find original style wiring terminals

[Sam K]

My local source for stock type terminal has dried up. Does anyone know where I can get terminals like the ones pictued below?

I sell them at my work (NAPA).

VW used to sell those the way your picture shows them but decided that no one could crimp them to a wire properly .  Now you get an 18" piece of wire with a terminal crimped on each end for $4 - $7 per wire (cut the wire in half and butt connector to your old harness) !  The wires can be purchased in different gauges... .5, 1.0, 3.0mm.  I'd be headed to NAPA to see Bryan67.

www.eagleday.com has a good selection of terminals and connectors

Wait... the same person who is not capable of crimping a terminal end is capable of crimping a butt connector?   
I'm failing on seeing the logic here. Maybe the logic is that instead of selling a 75 cent terminal, they can sell a 7 dollar piece of wire with 2 terminals.


I always solder everything... not doubt if there's a good connection or not!

Get ahold of a Wurth dealer. If you're using these at a commercial level (do it for a living), they have ALL the original style connectors be it male/female spade type, all the different sizes and gauges.
Check out their online catalogs @ wurthusa.com ... crazy nice stuff to use too ... as long as you have the right tools!

I wasn't able to find a local dealer or supplier in my area (that was reasonable on connectors and had what I needed exactly) so I always order from germansupply.com now for the VW terminals.  They have all the different types of VW connectors I've needed so far.

Do they sell the crimp tool as well? I believe it's a F-crimp or something like that. But I do know the crimp tools that are for butt-splce terminals dont crimp original terminals correctly

There is if I'm the one holding the soldering iron!

Thanks for all the help! I'm going to order a bunch of them from Wurth. Oddly enough, the crimper tool that i have is a Wurth product too.

Way to go ... 

I just realized you can bypass the dealer and order direct now ... Sweet!
