Anyone identify this clip family.

[ukracer]

It's off the wife's electric scooter. Main power feed to the motor.
Scooter stopped moving but relay was clicking to show brake was coming off and occasionally it would try to move a little.
As it's soft start it never drew enough current or voltage (or get up and go) to actually move.

Investigations showed some corrosion as it has been on site in a tin box for 2 years unused.
Batteries charge ok according to the main console and external charger. Not got my meter to check but 3 weeks ago it went round the lake 4 acre on two occasions.
Since that extreme hot weather it's started playing up.
I am not sure if the black shown in the photo is burning or melted grease/compound/whatever.
Clip has a shrink wrap shroud on so I can't see anything getting in.....but it looks like black tar on the male connector. Only on the high current leads.

So main question is what is the clip family so I can Google how to remove the spade connectors inside it to check for arcing.

They just have barbs in them - you can extract with a forked extractor tool.

I got a posh set with blue plastic handles - but I got a set of the above - "ringed ones" - they are OK and work.

I usually use a small flat bladed jeweller's screwdriver.

I can see from here that the terminals are cooked. I'd cut it off and replace all of it.

Same type as bike electrics used, many of them burnt where used for regulator connections. Yours does look burnt. Pull the pins out and either re crimp with a new spades or swap for something better.

No way is that connector rated for that big cable, I would separate that out and go for something a bit more HD.

^^ think it's the heat resistance sleeve giving the impression of a large wire, either way I agree if I was changing it, I'd go for something a bit more capable

Can't Bob. As the control box it's self have spades direct from it.

There are two large wires and two thin ones.

Can't swap them out for anything different.

Thought they had. I don't have any here to look at. Never thought to check Google images. Lol

If a temporary bodge is needed, give it a good clean with a mini wire brush and the female spades, pulled out the housing, given a light squeeze so that its a tight fit when reinserted onto the male.

And a spray of contact cleaner.

You could solder on stubs of cable onto the male terminals in the box then fit whatever plug & socket you want.

As a temporary measure you could cut off that connector, crimp on some spade terminals, using yellow for the heavy wires. That would confirm its a connector problem.

Sadly I don't have that here either.

It was an option I was considering at a later stage.
I am betting that controller is likely to be around 1k though.. . So I am not sure I want to take the gamble.
