    Where to find good selection of electronics modular connectors?

    My car has had some aftermarket electric side mirrors installed at some point but the car's harness and the mirror use different connectors. Whoever installed the mirrors didn't bother to wire them up properly - as a result they don't work. But it seems an easy fix.

    On the hunt for some four-pin modular connectors i've been to Jaycar, Altronics, Super Cheap and Repco, but none really have what i'm after. The auto shops all have the same option, but it's bigger than the space available behind the panel.

    What i'm really after is a molex style connector, but I need both male and female sides of the plug. Altronics has the female side molex plug, but their male side plugs are PCB mount only... no good to me.

    Here's the type of plug i'm after:




    I'm open to options, but right now I don't know where to try. If. you know where I could try to find a good selection of electronics connectors i'm all ears.

    Go to a pc shop and get a couple of molex splitters, this will give you male and female connectors.

    They look like standard computer power plugs for floppy drives, CD drives, and hard drives.

    If you need weatherproof, try these. I bought a pack of 5 males/5 females for less than $5 posted from Hong Kong.

    RS components and Element14 (was Farnell) both stock a range of connectors including molex.

    The problem with RS and Farnell is the minimum order bit. They can end up being pricey.
