work in progress 55 pin connector 963063-1 963063-2

[AndreyB]

This connector is used in plenty on German cars around late 80s - early 90s.

TE version https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/tree/master/hardware/963063-15_55_pin_connector
Motronic version https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/tree/master/hardware/breakout_55_pin

Related but different connector is available new:




Looks like this version was used on some Bosch Motronic M1.5.4 but I was not able to find proper drawing of this version.

@kt819a does it one more time!

@kb1gtt can you do the 3D trick?

[AndreyB]

Just tried the paper test and realized that the connectors I've got from China has a bit different footprints:
On the bright side, both rows of pins look right. On the other side, the rows are a bit closer, and there is that 3rd row of seven groups of three pins which are all connected together - some kind of mega-ground I guess. Also the mounting holes are located differently.

I will later try to find the datasheet for this version of the connector I've got.

Looks like this connector was used on some Chinese car and that's the reason why you can buy it and the matching wired plug:

Interested in this. I like that it has the wires all ready too. 55 pins should be enough for any 4cyl.

still can't understand if it is just one piece with wires or two pieces: with wires and with legs to be mounted on board.
btw, what's the estimated shipping cost?

[AndreyB]

still can't understand if it is just one piece with wires or two pieces

What part of 板插头线束 M154 55针 do not you understand? This is just the plug with the wires, the header is a separate item. At least that's the way I understand it.

I've used engtaobao.com and shipping and service fee has more or less doubles the price.

Update:
We have two different male parts here:

Shorter 963063-1 963063-2 as used on Yanvar/Mikas and still available new

And longer unknown part number available from China.

Current board was designed for 963063

I now have an official drawing of the longer unknown part number at https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/raw/master/hardware/breakout_55_pin/55_pin_drawing.pdf

Still looking for a volunteer to make the footprint

[AndreyB]

Breakout board for TE version of the connector has arrived and already available on eBay as https://www.ebay.com/itm/333553816490 and https://www.ebay.com/itm/333553815170

[AndreyB]

The motronic version of the connector has it's own breakout board now! https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/tree/master/hardware/breakout_55_pin

Thank you @Dron_Gus!

Motronic version sent to fab!
