Help with busted Tig Pedal connector

[GeoBruin]

My tig pedal has been connected to the welder basically since I've owned it but today I was trying to disconnect it and instead of unscrewing the rotating collar I was grabbing a hold of the connector itself. Needless to say by the time I realized what I was doing, I had wrenched several of the wires free of the little pin connectors or broke in the connectors themselves.

It should be a fairly straightforward repair but I want to make sure I have the right colored wires reattached to the correct pins. I also need a couple replacement pins but I don't know what these pins are called to search for replacements.

Two questions:

1) Can someone with a Lincoln k870 TIG pedal take a photo or otherwise confirm which color wire goes to which pin? The white and red wires are still attached so I can verify those, I really just need to know about the blue and black wires.

2) What is the name of this style connector pin?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Thanks. That's an aftermarket pedal they sell as a replacement for the Lincoln Pedal and while it is compatible, the wire colors are not the same.

I was more thinking the testing instructions on the right might make it easy to narrow down

Ah, yes, thanks. So that helped some. I definitely didn't get the values described but was able to confirm resistance and continuity on certain pins which I think gets me there.

Now, to find replacement pins... anyone have any idea what these are called?

Amphenol pins should find you what you need, might have to do some measuring for the size

Thanks all. I learned some new terms in some of these responses. I actually ended up ordering a whole replacement connector I found from HTP so I can just replace the whole plug (assuming everything fits) or else cannibalize it for the pins.

Now I just need to decide whether to mig weld the parts I'm working on or wait for the connector to arrive!

A little late, but today was the first day I was well enough to do anything in the shop:

Perfect! Thank you!

Just following up to say that the connector arrived and I got it all wired up per the photo above. We're back in action!

Thanks again!
