About this part
Thirty seven of these came in together, which makes this the colour to reach for when wiring a whole rack rather than repairing one lead. That is really what the colour range on these plugs was for. Red and black get spent immediately on a supply pair, and everything after that exists so somebody tracing a fault can follow one channel across a bench without stopping to read a label at each end.
The cover here is a pale, chalky blue, noticeably lighter than the medium blue plug also in this drawer. Under workshop light and in a photograph the two can look alike, so if you are matching an existing harness, compare against the pictures on both listings before ordering. They are separate stock and separate counts. Nothing else differs: the pin, the thread, the clamp and the brass are the same across all three colours here.
The metal carries no maker's mark and the nylon was moulded plain, so no manufacturer is claimed. What can be said is that it fits the standard tip pattern, takes up to 16 AWG, and has never been wired. At this count it is practical to build a full set of leads and keep spares against the day one gets stood on.
Questions about this part
How is this different from the blue tip plug?
Only the shade of the cover. This one is a pale chalky blue and the other is a medium blue. The pin, thread, clamp, brass and dimensions are identical. They are separate stock with separate counts, so if you are matching an existing harness compare the photographs on both listings first, because the two can look alike under workshop light.
Why would I want a colour other than red or black?
So you can trace a channel. Red and black usually get committed to a supply pair straight away, and the remaining colours let somebody follow one signal from one end of a bench to the other without reading a label at each end. On a rack with several identical channels it saves a great deal of time.
Is thirty seven enough to wire a whole setup?
For most benches, comfortably. It is enough to build a full set of leads and keep spares, which is the usual reason somebody wants a count this size in one colour rather than two or three of each.
Does it take the same wire as the others?
Yes, up to 16 AWG, the same as every plug in this pattern. Thinner wire is fine. Thicker will not enter the barrel and forcing it ruins the clamp.
Why is no manufacturer listed?
The part is unmarked and the bag arrived without paperwork. It matches the documented Johnson plug in this drawer dimensionally, but this listing describes the pattern rather than asserting a maker that cannot be checked.
