David, agreed=E2=80=94that=E2=80=99s been my personal experience.

=20

Group=E2=80=94I recently have been working on a custom automotive =
project that has brought me into contact with all of these terminal =
types:

*       Packard 56 open barrel (Delco-Packard --> Delphi --> Aptiv)
*       Packard 59 (specifically Twin Lock)
*       Metri-Pack
*       Weather-Pack
*       Powerpole (Anderson)
*       Deutsch

=20

I=E2=80=99m happy to try to help anyone on the list who is trying to =
identify terminals / shells or etc. I have had some success tracking =
down crimping tools as well.

=20

FWIW, I have rapidly become a BIG fan of the Deutsch setup. Easier to =
work with (easier to crimp, easier to revise) and physically smaller =
than Weather-Pack.

If you're trying to connect with the connector unplugged, the "easiest" =
thing to do might be to get some male and female pins and make jumper =
wires with them .   Finding the correct pins is the hard part of the =
easy solution.

=20

=20

If you can figure out which ones you need, getting the right pins is =
easy, and even real OEM ones are usually pretty cheap.  The problem is =
there are lots of choices, and they all require their own crimping dies, =
so it's hard to keep them on hand just in case. For testing, you can =
probably get away with the wrong tool, or soldering them on.  But if =
you're repairing a connector, you want the right crimper; poorly crimped =
pins and socket ends are a source of maddening intermittent failures and =
risk deciding a part has failed when it's just the wire end that's bad.  =


=20

One very real advantage of using the right pins is you can get a good =
sense if you have a pin fit problem, which causes failures, often =
intermittent.  hard to do that with a probe or stick pin. =20
