You don't have to work that hard. Its the Amp Universal Mate-N-Lok II
connector line. 4 pins. Plug housing on the cable, 770019. Female or
socket pins in the plug, 770247. Strain relief 641776-2. Based on my Amp
sheet IS 3200. There are several from Amp that will mate. Last I looked
for them, they were available from Mouser as well as TenTec. Maybe $3 a
set for all the pieces, before shipping.
The internal switch that is brought out to those pins won't hack 20 amps
at 12 volts. I used a relay and put a diode in series with the relay
coil to act as a reverse polarity protector. So if polarity is backwards
the relay won't close to fry the radio.
