Hello,

I'm looking for this 24 pin connector

It says "tyco 1534080-1" on it, I looked up over the internet and tyco website but wasn't able to find one,

Does anyone know where I can get this connector?

Thank you!

It looks like an OEM product and not a connector you can purchase separately. What's it taken from?

you can try digikey.com and search with terms like "tyco housing receptacle"

That's for VW/BMW/Audi harness connector (Metra 70-9003)

Have you tried calling Tyco?

Searching for exact connectors can take hours upon hours of time really quick.

What are you trying to do and how many do you need? It may be easier to get them from a junkyard if you need small quantities.

hi,

get some tools to do measuring, sometimes a small steel rule will work. measure the pitch of the terminals, the dimensions of the housing etc.

tyco's website has a connector picture search function...it may help. since the piece is OEM it may not be available exactly.

is the spacing between the two twelve pin sections an amount equal to the pitch, or multiple? maybe look for a 28 pin connector instead?

You'll probably have to buy a Metra 70-9003.

If you KNOW what it's from/to, why don't you save yourself hours and hours of (potentially and apparently fruitless) searching, and buy one where you know you can already get one? And I am asking that sincerely... I am not trying to be a weisenheimer...

I guess I'm lost. What precisely are you trying to do? What do you need JUST the Molex for?

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."
