What are these connectors?
« on: April 28, 2020, 12:03:55 pm »
Can anyone help me identify these connectors, please?  Do you know if they can be sourced?  They are on the multi-function display on a 2004 Renault Clio.  I'm replacing the display and the board that drives it with my own stuff, but would like to use the same sockets as on the original board.  The plugs can also be connected to a standard male header.

There are 15 pins, spaced at 2.54mm

Thanks  :)

The path I would point you in is to see if Renault has a catalog of connectors or pigtails or connectors.

Ford Motorcraft has an awesome pigtail wiring catalog:

Yours is a board interconnect, so it seems to me it would be more standardized. It looks like an edge card connector with board lock.

That's my best guess.  :box:

A quick google seems to indicate that a similar connector is used on Renault Clio and Master clock modules.
I would suggest salvage from a scrappy, trying your luck on Ebay for a clock module.
The chances of buying a specialised automotive connector in anything less than a bag of a thousand is slim to none.
Another place to try is somewhere that refurbs/repairs instrument clusters and/or ECUs (e.g. BBA-Reman or Cluster Repairs UK) and ask if they have one in their spares bin.
