OBC Hack Question?

Thanks for the link. I'll see what I can do. Which one is this, the 009 or 010 from VW?

The -010 connector is a Female connector used in the dash. It is square. The outside dimension is 2.00mm ( .079 in) X 2.00mm (0.79in).
Length is 7.11mm (0.280in)
The -090 is a male connector used for the stalk. It is rectangular. The outside dimension is 1.87mm (0.073in) X 2.09mm (0.082in). Length 6.4mm (0.25in).
All measurements were made using a vernier caliper and 58 year old eyes, so no guarantee on their accuracy.
I used the link provided and searched the Molex catalog for over two hours before I gave up trying to find these @#$%! tiny connectors.
If someone can find them in the Molex catalog, the next question is how many thousand do you want/need? So then one has to go to the Mouser catalog and hope Mouser stocks them and they will sell you only a few.
Somethings make me wish I was working on a car made in Detroit.

Skeefy,
Thanks for providing those measurements.

There is a lot of chatter on various boards about how 009 pins should be used on 2001- cars all the way around. Apparently, people are having a hard time inserting the 010 pins into the black connector housing that plugs into the dash on the later cars.
Now, the fact that you are calling the 009 a male connector is very puzzling to me.

As for sourcing these connectors, I was able to find the connectors that linklaw provided a link for above in the Mouser catalog, and it can be ordered in small quantities.

I'm wrong about the -009 being a male connector. I was making that assumption by looking just at the -009. The opening in the end looked too small to be a female connector.
The -009 female connector fits the pins in my 2002 4 stalk assembly. I have not received the black plug socket, so I can't comment on how well -009 or -010 fit it. Since the -010 is rectangular and not square, maybe the difficulty people are having is due to the -010 being rotated 90 degrees? I'll repost after I get my black plug. It should be soon. It has been on order for two weeks. :dance:
