Cable question

[Old Bloke]

Folks

I'm installing a TSDZ2 on my wife's recumbent trike and I think I will need an extension cable.

Does anyone know what this connector/cable is called and where I might be able to get an extension cable?



Thanks

OB

Does this look like it matches?

The Panda one is completely different. It's a 9-pin motor cable.

Easiest solution is to cut the cable and splice in a length of 6-core or 2 x 3-core.

Heh - I can see now that the one in the photo has fewer pins. Wasn't as clear when I was posting earlier from my phone!

thanks d8veh, I was hoping to avoid splicing - partly for appearance/waterproofing, partly because of lack of skill. But, if I can't find the cable I'll have to rope my son in to do some soldering/splicing for me.

I'd be very surprised if you could find one of those cables, let alone one the right length.

It's not difficult. You just need thin heatshrink for each cable and thicker for the overall. Here's a hint: stagger the joins every centimeter so that you don't end up with a massive bulge.

I'm not sure what you mean by waterproof. It'll be a lot more waterproof by splicing than with a connector.

If you get adhesive lined heatshrink, like this:

then your joint will certainly be waterproof as the adhesive flows when you heat the tube.

On this page of the long ES thread someone bought an extension cable, I'm still working my way throught pages so no idea where he got it from.

Thanks for the hint. I may end up having to splice.

Thanks, I'll follow it up.

I think he was in Germany, Higo do a 6 pin mini B which some one posted a link to for a German supplier but the 6 pin didn't have the same flat side to it.

Some one still has the link! But you are right it isn't the same plug. https://www.e-bike-technologies.de/index.php/en/connectors/higo
