Round sleeve 3-pin alternator plug A0045459228
« on: October 16, 2024, 14:34:44 »
Does anyone know where one can source this replacement plug A0045459228? Other than one very expensively offered on ebay, I can find no options. (Image courtesy of SLS shop - no stock there)

This is for the back D+ D- DF plug on my unregulated AL72X 55 amp alternator, but is exact same on the original 35 amp relay I replaced. The original plastic cover on mine has gone, and the sleeve leads were pushed in without a cover (I have heat shrink protected them for now).

This is a very common alternator across multiple models, so I am a bit surprised the plug is hard to find. Every new wiring loom must need it. So it likely its just me looking in the wrong places, and hence the call for help! (I did search forums first.)

PS Yes, the cables from the 55 amp alternator have been upgraded / gauge increased.

Thank you Pawel. Unfortunately that vendor will not ship to USA or UK.

Thank you Pawel. Unfortunately that vendor will not ship to USA or UK.

Have you asked them? Often they open it for you, I had similar cases shipping the other way.

If you are out of options I can buy it and send it to you, but I am not sure how fast this shipment will go.

Anyway, the note says they are absent until October 25.

Thank you Pawel, that is very decent of you to offer. I will check first with that vendor when they are back.

Hopefully there is also a source in the US or UK that someone is aware of.

Thank you Bob:

I am in the same situation when sourcing that connector.  Only at SLS SHOP.
