Part: 6-Terminal Wiring Harness Electrical Connector for Honda CT90 / Trail 90, CB175, CB200, CB350, CB360, CB450, CB550, CB750
Why You Need This: The plastic components of your vintage Honda motorcycle are prone to deterioration over time, and the multi-pin plastic terminal connectors in your electrical system are no exception. These connectors often become brittle, crack, lose their locking clips, or accumulate corrosion that leaves the inner terminals looking like a snow globe. We had a pristine CB360 in this exact situation, causing all kinds of electrical havoc!
Honda CT90 / Trail 90, CB175, CB200, CB350, CB360, CB450, CB550, and CB750 all used the same style of terminals and connectors in their wiring harnesses, so these issues arise regardless of model. The same applies to many other vintage Japanese motorcycles from the era that used similar terminal wiring harness connectors.
The 6-terminal connectors were commonly used for the fuse box connection on the CB/CL360 Scrambler, the regulator/rectifier connector on the CB550 and CB750, and the handlebar-mounted key switch on 1975 and later models like the CB500T. In some cases, Honda used a 6-terminal connector but only utilized 5 of the actual terminals, so keep this in mind when building a custom wiring harness.
Our high-quality wiring harness connectors and brass spade terminals are made in Japan and will help restore your wiring harness to its original condition. Sold individually as a package including the connector with terminals. We also include an extra male and female terminal because we know installation mistakes happen!
This pack includes:
- Male plastic 6-terminal housing x 1
- Female plastic 6-terminal housing x 1
- Brass male spade terminals x 7
- Brass female spade terminals x 7
For a clean and secure installation, use our electrical terminal crimping tool.
We also carry other vintage Honda wiring connectors:
Installation Tip: Buy the electrical terminal crimp tool—yes, you will need it! Proper installation follows these three steps:
- Inner crimp: Secures the wire.
- Outer crimp: Clamps onto the wire insulation.
- Final squeeze: Give the inner crimp an extra squeeze with the crimp tool for a solid connection.
For the best results, we recommend soldering all connections for a permanent and reliable hold. The recommended wire size for these terminals is 16 gauge.
Once the terminals are installed, insert them into the plastic housing. Each terminal has a small locking barb that snaps into place inside the housing. Male terminals go into the female plastic housing, and vice versa for female terminals in the male housing. Once installed, they are very difficult to remove, so double-check before inserting them!
