I have a 2007 Cayman base model, 2.7L, and I like working on it just about as much as I enjoy driving it. Recently, I've been trying to swap in a new coil pack connector, but found that I need a new female terminal post as well as the rubber boot that covers the connector.

Specifically, I'm replacing part number: PNA72104300136 (Electrical housing #960136) shown here:


What I need is one of the female electrical connection terminals that are crimped to the harness wiring and fit inside this housing, something like shown here:


I also need the rubber boot that covers the connector, shown here:


Does anyone have part numbers for these items?

 

After no answers in this forum or elsewhere regarding part numbers for the items above, I managed to identify the female receptacle for the connector housing: it is a TE Connectivity (formerly Tyco) AMP Connector series Junior Power Timer receptacle with modified spring, part number 2-929937-1. See spec sheet below.



I found the identical receptacle available in small quantities from DigiKey as part number 2-964286-1, with image shown below.



I crimped these receptacles onto my Porsche harness wiring using an Astro 9477 crimping tool, available from Amazon and shown here in the screenshot. Worked great.



Regarding the flexible rubber boot that protects the connector and coil from water intrusion, it appears to be available only as part of the full wiring harness, and not as an individual component. So I could possibly find one of these in a junkyard, but I’m not really up for that treasure hunt. I’ve also seen in various forums that some folks simply cover the connector with shrink tubing. I actually did that for a brief period, but ultimately wanted something closer to the OEM solution. Thus, I measured the dimensions of the other rubber boots on my Cayman harness, and used Autodesk Fusion 360 CAD software to create a replacement boot design as shown in the screen capture below.



Next, I 3D printed this replacement boot, using Cura as shown in the image below.



I made the part using flexible TPU filament and a Printrbot Play (photo below), with a print temperature of 200C, a speed of 10mm/sec, and filament retraction disabled.



The finished part is shown in the photos here.





I’d be happy to send the .stl file to anyone who wants to try this at home. I’d also be willing to send a complete printed part to a few readers, just to get some feedback. ** End **

 

Wow! I admire your willingness to do all this.. particularly that you are sharing this info. I don't need one but am printing this out in case I ever do.
THANKS a bunch.
