Plugs, Pins, and Connectors
Contents
1g DSM ECU
This ECU appears to use AMP/Tyco Pulse Lock connectors. THIS HAS NOT BEEN VERIFIED YET. I'm keeping notes here as I confirm information about these plugs.
There are multiple colors available for each plug part number; where "X" is the base part number, the pattern to use when ordering is:
- X-1
- white
- X-6
- gray
- X-7
- yellow
Plugs:
- 10-pin plug, 172315
- 18-pin plug, 172316
- 24-pin plug, 172317
- ECU-side connector, 172319
There are several pin options. More to come later.
Evo VIII and 2g DSM ECU
This ECU uses 040/070-Series Hybrid Plugs from AMP (Tyco). Digikey doesn't seem to stock these, but Newark has all of the pins in stock, and Mouser has the large pins.
There are multiple colors available for each plug part number; where "X" is the base part number, the pattern to use when ordering is:
- X-1
- white
- X-2
- black (non-RoHS)
- X-5
- blue
- X-6
- gray
- 6-X-6
- light gray
- X-7
- yellow
The 22-pin plug has 6 large pins (four on the left, two on the right), and the 26-pin plug has 10 large plugs (four on the left, six on the right), for a total of 16 large pins for a complete harness. All other pins (12, 16, 16, and 16, for each plug respectively, or 60 total) are of the small variety. Note that not all pins are actually used; see the USDM VIII ECU Pinout for details.
Plugs:
- 12 pin male, 917978 (datasheet)
- 16 pin male, 917981 (datasheet)
- 22 pin male, 917989 (datasheet)
- 26 pin male, 917992 (datasheet)
Pins:
- Large pins, 175265-1
- Small pins, 175269-1
Evo IX ECU
This ECU uses JAE MX7-series connectors. Digikey seems to maintain stock of these plugs and pins; Jamie (Jack_of_Trades) also makes pins available.
Each plug has a block of 6 large pins (so, a total of 18), with the remainder (75) being the small type. Note that not all pins are actually used; see the USDM IX ECU Pinout for details.
Plugs:
- 28 pin retainer clip, MX7-A-28S-RT
- 28 pin plug, MX7-A-28SC (datasheet)
- 30 pin retainer clip, MX7-A-30S-RT
- 30 pin plug, MX7-A-30SC (datasheet)
- 35 pin retainer clip, MX7-A-35S-RT
- 35 pin plug, MX7-A-35SC (datasheet)
Pins:
- Large pins, MX7-PWC2-1E-4500
- Small pins (tin), MX7-SGC3-7000
Diagnostic Connector
The Evo "diag" connector is a Sumitomo MT-series M(6244-1121) 12-way connector (citation), which was apparently a special-purpose run specifically for Mitsubishi; it appears that SWS in Japan can source these. (citation)
The female plug (for a cable) is a Sumitomo MT-series F(6244-5121) 12-way connector, and the pins are:
- F(8240-4849)
- gold-plated, 0.2-0.5mm cable size)
- F(8240-4412)
- tin-plated, 0.2-0.5mm cable size
- F(8240-4422)
- tin-plated, 0.5-1.25mm cable size)
- F(8240-4652)
- tin-plated, 2.0mm cable size, and cables are to be AVSS
Earlier 1g DSMs and Evos I-III also used this physical connector for the MUT scantool, but with a different pinout.
Boost Control Solenoid / EGR
These are also Sumitomo parts: TS-series F(6188-0624) for the female plug, and TS-series M(6189-0264) for male. Again, it appears that SWS can source these, and Ballenger Motorsports carries (as a special order item) the female plug in either an assembly package, as a kit, or as a complete pigtail, along with the necessary pins and seals. (PDF for TS-series connectors) Fully-assembled adapters for GM solenoids, as well as individual connectors, can also be ordered from spoolinup.com.
