I am trying to locate 50-100 of the metal terminal ends that get crimped on wire. I just ran out.

If anyone has some or can reference a source, I would be grateful.

Hey Charles,
Assume you're looking for military Douglas (or Packard) connector terminal pins?

Male or female? What size wire gauge?

I only recall seeing complete connectors being sold (shell, grommet, terminal pin). Will have to look for somebody selling just the terminals, but have a couple of likely leads.

Usually 14 gauge wire., Douglass Connectors, Metal

I am looking for the metal terminal end that gets crimped onto the wire. Peter Dabella list them on his web site at .70 cents each but states he is very low on inventory and has to save what he has for hie harnesses. He has them on order but I need them soon.

I have the other parts to make an assembly, I just ran out of the terminal ends.

Thank you for replying.

Ok, sounds like you need male not female terminals.

Perhaps he could tell you where he gets them and you could order some from the same place? Not sure what "soon" means, but there's always overnight shipping ($$$).

I'm still looking...

Ron,

yes it is a male connector terminal. 2 per connection. The 2 terminal ends plug into the plastic receptacle inside the male shell and the female shell.

If I could find them I would overnight them.

Thanks for helping to find them.

Charles,
Yes, now I understand (read more carefully!), for Douglas connectors (I was thinking Packard style that uses the same male as Douglas, and a female mate).

I've never seen any vendors that sell only the male bullet terminals, just complete connectors. Maybe some vendors do if you give them call?...AJP, MWM, QTM, BMJP, RFJP, and others?

I did find these that look like they might work for you in a pinch. Wouldn't cost much to find out anyway. Not sure how hard over you are about substitutes instead of original... https://brillman.com/?s=male+bullet&post_type=product

Still looking...

I believe John at Midwest Military sells individual parts for the connectors.

I think that vintage wiring will sell the parts for the douglas and packard connectors.
