Rear Tail light Circuit Board Connector - C42

[lugbutz]

Hi

Does anyone know where to find replacement circuit board connectors for the taillights?

I am looking for C41,C42,C43 and C42 Connectors.... Checked the usual haunts... Vick, AutoRecambri Midwest etc etc... no luck

Has anyone ever had to wire these connections? If so how was it done?

I have never seen these on rear light circuit pigtails for sale. With my cars, I have been able to adjust the inside prongs of the pigtails for better connection to the circuit board. I have been able to fix broken plastic parts and clips with JB weld and small pieces of black plastic to re-enforce. At one point I considered cutting the tail light pigtails out of a junkyard car but found those were no better than mine. Still, it might be easier to track down a parts car than find these parts new. After cleaning the circuit boards themselves for years, I did purchase the new circuit boards that auto ricambi sells and they are great.

Not that I have done it......
But a computer store might be able to help. Suggest you take the card with you
You need a store that has been around a long time to have cards from old computers
Just a suggestion

Molex makes them too as Wire-to-Board Edge Card Connectors (their sample picture shows only the 3 circuit version):

Thank you all for your assistance...I have found the following out about the vinyl connectors are made by TE/AMP (if you look closely on the sides of the connector) you can see AMP in raised plastic.

I did reach-out to TE ( https://www.te.com/usa-en/home.html) and spoke with their support department. They said these connectors were very old (Yup!) and they maynot have them any more. They were going to do more investigation and get back to me.

When I hear from them I will post what here
