Title: wire connector port
Post by: ercin13 on December 21, 2010, 10:21:19 pm
i had an issue with my vendorlator 5 sign light and traced the problem to this connector. there was a loose wire which came loose after i wiggled it. i cut this connector out after i color taped the wires. i then put wire nuts on to see if light works and it does. i need to get a new new connector so it dont look like a mess. can you get these at home depot or lowes? or is there something more modern that works better? i dont have any slack coming from beneath so i would like to get something in a snap form. just checking what you guys might reccomend.

also i had a bad ballast and had to learn the hard way about buying 2 flourescents before i put in a new ballast. now i have 7 less dollars for xmas. should have did my forum search before that screw up.

Try radio shack or an electrical supply store like commercial electronics they should have what you need.

Radio shack may carry the connector.. Otherwise, look at Mouser.com for it. Its a .093 molex connector male and female.
