Excellent. But if I could impose. Could you send me the B version?

I have a large assortment of pin extractors.
They are super cheep plastic round and square extractors that simply slide over the pin and slide down the pin and move the locking tab. Theoretically i can remove 20 pins in about 2 minutes. I'm going to have to cut the cloth harness wrap back aways.
That's not going to be easy. The breakout that this particular connector harness is only about 2 inches from the main harness. It going to be nearly impossible to depin each pin and insert into the new connector.
I'm going to have to make note of each color and it's location and de pin the intire connector. It's only 17 wires.
Aircraft nav units have over 80 pins. And the space up under the panel is way tighter. I hated replacing radio trays.
And to make matters worse if I found corrosion on the little needle I have to recrimp new pins. Last one I did took 4 days to do just one connector. Boss said if there is just one pin that had corrosion they all had to be replaced. That was on a falcon jet. Labor was 12k for one connector. I got my normal hourly pay. Should have received hazard pay. Couldn't walk upright for days.

Outside of dual prong pins (particularly opposed prongs), my sharpened paperclip has no equal. Opposed prongs require 2 of them. One is flattened and sharped like a hypodermic needle and another is flattened and sharpened into a chisel head. Only the PB's HV cables require another tool, particularly cut strips of an aluminum business card to shim in the retention prongs.

I'd depin/repin one at a time into the replacement.

You might be able to unwrap the wire wrap back into the main harness to give you a little room to work. I guess it depends on how much room there is to work with the harness? If its fully tucked away that sucks, but if you can pull it out to gain access, 2 inches or not, I imagine you could still do 1 pin at a time. Typically if you can get one pin out and free, you should be able to get it into the new connector off to the side.

Big issue about noting color is when its a red wire with a white stripe, and a red wire with 2 white stripes and a white wire with a red stripe...you get the picture. On 22 gauge wire, it can sometimes play tricks on the eyes. Almost worth wire tagging with numbers at that point.

This looks like the correct one. Not sure why @Spiffy cant take a picture of the connector. Looks like one i have.

I received the mouser connector. It's a perfict fit!!
Thank you for the tip
