Anyone found a decent supplier of 2.8mm female spade quick connectors? Didn’t see any on sale at V1E shop, and no mention in LR3 docs at https://docs.v1e.com/lowrider/#specialty-parts.
I burned time trying several, so far, they’ve all been compared to the ones that came with the V1E touch plate probe. The gold plated ones from O’Reillys took extreme force to crimp and ended up overly crushing, and the misc amzn ones were either wrong size (my fault for ASSuming AWG22-18 are all the same size, nope, you need 2.8mm not the 5mm ones), or, (Baomain) too tight to squeeze Omron blades into.
Where as the sweet fitting quick connects from V1E slide in goldilocks tight, and even have a round nub that clicks into the Omron’s blade’s hole.
Here is the Amazon link that Ryan recommends. I’ve got a package of them, but haven’t used up the connectors from Ryan’s lowrider kits yet- so I haven’t tried them myself.
Ordered and tried those as well, but they’re similar to the overly tight Baomain ones in my first post. None of those have the locking dimple/detent/nub/nipple that the female spade connectors included with Ryan’s touch plate come with…
