As a replacement for OEMBlinker relay
I bought a battered 900SS (900SL) and am Restore.
In this situation, RearBlinker decided to change to ultra-small type LED's for various reasons.
The front is a Cowl recessed type, but since this is part of the body design, it is used as is, and the light bulbs inside are not converted to LEDs, but are left as they are.
This would be a hassle with bulbs in the Front and LEDs in the Rear, but times have evolved and there is now ICRelay, which supports a variety of wattages and makes everything look good.
The problem is replacing that ICRelay with the original Relay.
For ordinary Japanese cars, it is a 2-pole universal layout, so all you have to do is plug in the Conversion Connector that comes with the Relay, but unfortunately, DUCATI is a 3-pole Relay.
In addition, the connector is fixed to the body of the car, and the Relay is inserted into it, which is the opposite arrangement from that of domestic cars.
(For domestic cars, the RelayBody is mounted on the car body, and the Connector extending from the Harness is inserted into it.)
So we decided to disconnect and discard the UniversalConnector (Female side) from Relay and make our own Conversion Connector that would be Male-Male.
After carefully checking the terminal shape of the OEMRelay, I realized that it is the same as the H4Headlight Connector.
So I bought this Kit to create H4Connector.
Although there are a variety of female connectors that can be used with H4 Valve, there are only a few that can be used to create male connectors that reproduce the shape of the Valve.:Set is appreciated!
Unfortunately, the H4 and OEMRelay terminals had different widths, although the connector shape was correct.
The OEMRelay terminal width is about 6.4mm, and this H4 terminal is about 7.7mm wide, about 1.3mm thicker, so Quantity:Pair (for Left and Right) was shaved and prepared 0.6mm at a time.
However, the terminals are generated by folding a flat plate 180° with PRESS, so if both ends of the terminal are shaved, the folded part is lost and becomes RoseRose.
To avoid RoseRose, before shaving both ends, solder is poured inside the terminal to fix the PRESSED board firmly in place, and then both ends are shaved...Relay terminal is completed!
The completed terminal has a different width at the insertion point, but the rest of the terminal remains the normal H4 terminal shape, so it can be used by inserting it into an H4Socket as usual.
Just check the terminal positions of ICRelay and OEMRelay (they were in a position relationship that would not function if you stuck them in as they were) and assemble them.
We were able to connect the Relay receiving Connector on the car body side and the replaced ICRelay Connector while converting well.
The terminals included in the Connector set are gold-plated and magnificent, and their shape and strength are quite normal and perfect.
Male of H4Connector. It should be a rare occurrence, but if you are having trouble with HID or LED wiring, this is the perfect solution.
