AMP plug 3 pole v3 (2 poles used)

thingiverse

This thing is a housing for 3x 6.35mm (2 used only) female connectors (plug) often used in many washing machines and other machines made by LG Electronics. Those plugs can be found in similar products with several other brand names as well. This time the used filter type is Tyco SZ 06021 but you will find a number of similar filters as well. The plug housing has been simplified to meet my need connecting the power line filter with the controller board or other internal device. After printing the thing: Crimp the wires to the two female connectors. Flatten out the small flexible notches that afix the female connector with the male blade connector (on the board). Otherwise you will not be able to remove the plug from the controller board later on. The two used connectors have to be fed in from the front opening instead of the back. Feed in one wire from the front toward the back side. Heat up the female connector (clamp) with a torch or heatgun slightly so it can soften the plastic a bit when you have pushed it in , do this the next step. Drag the wire commeing out of the back opening and push in the femal connector at the same time now. Having a car lamp H4 pluged into the female connector helps to find the right position. Adjust the dived in connector until the base of the lamp hits the front of the housing. Let cool down the connector before removing the helping H4 lamp then. Repeat the procedure for the other connector. See the pictures I have added. Warming up not shown. Remember: it is allways a good practice to fasten the plug using some silicone or hot glue, you know? Don't let it slip away.
