It's from a led light kit, it's similar to a tamiya plug but larger in size.
I'll get a better photo.

I don't, sorry.

Have you tried contacting the manufacture of the LED kit?

There are 1000s of different connectors out there. Can you read the numbers or letters on the connector? That may lead to a manufacture of the connector for starters. Also what is the pin spacing? Looks like it might be around 4-5mm.
Simple inline pin connectors are available that should match up.

Easiest thing to do would be to cut off the existing connector and replace it with something else or just hardwire them.

Com'on, you know the answer. You posted in a thread about this same topic 6 months ago.

What type of connectors are these? Please Help!

Those are just links to JST connectors, I figured it would be enough for the OP (in that thread) to find what he needed.
The plug in this thread dosen't look like a JST connector.

I'm guessing you're just busting my chops a bit.

I would just cut it off but i want the female ends to hook up more led's to the kit, i got from ebay tried contacting the seller but no reply.

They look to be similar to the Tamiya plugs that most kits use but a little larger.

I'll check for a number i think there may be one on the plug.

It's for a pc board that can take up to 16 led lights. I'll get a pic of the board and see if that helps.

Cheers for the replys anyway.

Go on an online auction and buy a 10pack of micro deans for ~13bucks, change the plug and have more plugs to ad to your string of lights.

ThunderVP · 07-31-2011, 10:41 AM

If you do not want to cut the connectors off, my thought would be to use some pin headers like this:

Solder a buss bar across the bottom to add as many as you like or use a pre-made copper circuit board available from Radio Shack. Something like this:

You do need to know the pin size and spacing to get the right headers.
Or just use solid strand wire and go directly into the connector pin holes.
