Can anyone tell me the make and type and model number of the white 2 pin and 4 pin connectors for throttle and halls etc on my Lyen controller. I have been told they are Molex but cant find the correct ones!

Thanks
 
Yes CNX 54. The problem is I am in the UK. Do you know a brand name/ type of these so that I can buy them in the UK?
 
Chuck 'en and use JXTs. Battery balance extensions is a good source for them. Avail. in every hobby store.
Hobbyking, Hobby Partz, Progressive RC, etc.
 
Probably not Molex, might be Tamiya.
does anything here help?

Find a scooter parts place in EU. Or you could go to other type connectors. Light as the package will be, the USA scooter place may not be such a bad deal.

They aren't molex, nor are they Tamiya. But both those look similar. Inside is a simple blade connector, it's the housing I have never known the name of.

Anybody know? Scooter parts just calls them white square, the same term I use when chatting with customers wanting a replacement controller for an old kit.

But here on ES, I usually just say "scooter connector" since they are used on electric scooters all the time, and e bikes some of the time. Not the ideal connector for outside, on the bare frame of a bike. Fine for under a plastic body shell of a scoot.
 
I myself loooooooong wondered what the connectors name were, the Lyen connectors and ebikes.ca connectors.
I have a good electronics store here, and I might try these ones here. I can have them in hand in store, rather then gambling online.

So it might be a close match, "AMP Universal Mate-N-Lock" as its kind of the same push down on the lock and they slip out. But these are grey not white or black. Either way I am switching my MOTORS to 5.5mm female bullets and the AMP for the small 5 wires.

Molex might be correct too, its hard to tell.

Either way they are ultra cheap, I will buy a bunch and see. I hate going into the store itself because they have no prices on things. I dont know why they do that. Online they got prices on everything.

----------------------------------------

OK I think I found them, atleast on ebay "SM Connector Plug Terminals" the correct pitch is 2.5mm.

Again here, the same term used http://www.currietech.com/dealers/wiki/index.php/Connectors,_Terminals,_and_Wiring

These ones below are prewired in all black wires though, but they do offer some waterproof connectors which I was very tempted to spring for, but the CDN dollar is so low right now that I just went for Grin's connector bag, the speedo cable and a 3 speed switch.

As for these connectors, http://www.electricscooterparts.com/whitewiringconnectors.html#
The pins seems loose and I would not use them. Thats why, I assume, Lyen used those style on throttles and maybe the halls and ebrake. I have his 18fet Low RDS Model, great unit. I cut my wires off for some reason and need/want to use matching connectors. Plus it blends in nicely. I like to blend in and not draw attention to my ebikes when I am riding. Stealth is the way to go when mingling with pedestrains on sidewalks or pathways, but I do like speed on the streets.
I will end up heat shrinking all my cables in black.
 
Hi the plugs are JST SM we use to to use them they are on EBAY you need a crimp tool works great

The square white "scooter plug" is not a JST sm. But yes, JST sm is what is or was on the Grin controllers.

This is a JST sm

This is the typical "scooter plug" White square plug used on halls. a 6 pin plug with 5 pins in it.CNX-54.jpg

The place I buy them, electricscooterparts.com, just calls them white wire connectors. I call them scooter plugs because they are on all those cheap scooter controllers on e bay.

Lots of controllers have both of course. It often is jst sm for jumpers like regen enable or power limiter. Then throttles can be white plug or Jst, it just varies.

I love the PA09 tool! Bought it years ago and they made crimping great.
 
not sure I have the right tool for the tiny jst's. but it has to be tiny mine looks a lot like the one you have an offer on.

The other one looks larger, maybe good for andersons and such.
 
<snip> I used the no-name "taiwan" crimper (top one) on the JST pins, because the Molex one does indeed look larger on the smallest pin size.

There's nothing on the no-name one except a stamped-in "Taiwan", but the Molex is marked as Waldom HT1919, for Terminal 1380-81 or 1189-90.

I have the smaller one, in the pictures above. No idea if it's what I should use, but it seems to work ok on the mini Jst's.

I still don't really have the right crimper for the white scooter plugs. my little crimper is too small to do those well. I tend to crimp lightly with a needle nose, then solder on the white scooter plugs.

I use a big crimper for the large stuff.
 
I have nothing small enough to push the little piece of metal down that holds the connector in the housing on the JST-SM's.
The connectors are very small for my big fingers.

Looks like they are not dependant on which way they go in terms of the U on the connector where the wire goes and you turn it into each other. Just so long as its up or down, not rotated 90.

I am going to have to get me that tool, my soldering iron does not have a proper tip, I can do bullets easy but these are very small.

I hope I bought some 24 guage stranded wire, thats what fits in them.
 
I've switched a few jst plugs to the larger scooter plug, like throttles or halls. Just so much easier to deal with for me, and the connector packs are quite cheap.
 
The larger scooter connectors seem like a good choice as well, I just dont like the bulkiness of the white connector. Plus they stick out in terms of visualization. These black JST-SM ones are small, discrete and black which can blend in nicely to the frame. I doubt I will be connecting many of these connectors. But the tool is cheap enough. I still have got no word back on if the ebay seller accepted my lower offering.
 
Yes, I agree. But I'm old, can't see that tiny stuff for shit. So for me, if I have a mini jst in one hand, and a scooter plug in the other, the plug becomes a scooter plug.
 
It says for jst and that's what the bag of connectors is.
