Replacing the i50 tridata Raymarine depth/speed/temp unit. Had to cut off the supplied quick connections and I'm having difficulty finding these tiny little buggers to replace. Anybody got a source?

I believe that they are called F1 connectors (as opposed the slightly wider - and more common F2 connectors). Radio Shack had them when they were around - I bought them for connecting my chartplotter to my Raymarine autopilot.

I went looking for some F2 connectors at Home Depot a couple weeks ago, and they didn't have anything close (F1 or F2). Your local store might do better. You might try an auto parts store. I ended up finding a couple F2's in my spare parts bin, so I gave up on searching.

Failing that, Google search should turn up some sellers - perhaps Amazon or ebay also.

Thanks Rick. My local Radio Shack didn't have them, nor did any electrical distributor or Auto Parts place. Part of the problem searching for them online was that I did not know what size they were.Lurking on a Raymarine FAQ site, I found out the size, but have not been able to find them yet. Raymarine says that they are carried by authorized distributors, but West Marine was unaware of this. Shackleton trudges on...

F1 is 3/8" wide and is that one that my AutoPilot wanted for NMEA input. The one you show is 1/8" wide, so much smaller.

OP's need is for tridata head unit. He should measure the width of the connector tabs before we make any more suggestions. One (maybe both) of us is giving him very incorrect advice based on potentially incorrect assumptions.

1/8 is the correct width. Very small. Thanks Scott.
