The connector is an AMP Mate-N-Lock.
Use the Female pins for the back of radio, and the Male for the power
supply.
Use 12 AWG and solder to pins, prior to inserting into the housing.

These may also be known as "mass term" or MTA connectors. Take a look at this
page and see if they're what you're referring to:
http://www.te.com/usa-en/products/connectors/pcb-connectors/intersection/mta-100-mta-156-connectors.html
(MTA 100 is 0.100" and MTA 156 is 0.156" center-to-center pin spacing.)

Thanks mucho for the assistance. It is a two pin connector and is as new,
but just doesn't maintain contact. I will check to determine if it is
locked.. Thanks for the description, nomenclature and source. 73, John,

If I've identified them correctly those connectors come under the general
description of latching pin header connectors. Replacements should be
inexpensive and readily available from sources such as Digi-Key or Mouser.

Hi Jim,
I haven't experienced that problem with my Six-plus and I can't picture
that connector, but if it's the style I'm thinking of, here's a trick
that has cured that type of problem many times over 45 years in the
computer field. (I started out on main frames and worked my way down to
"toys") "Tin" the male pins (if they're accessible) with a very thin
layer of solder. That should make for a solid connection. Plan B would be
to hard wire it by either cutting off the connector or leave the
connector on and add two wires in parallel with the connector. It could
be a bad crimp at one of the pins on the end of the harness. Plan B would
take care of that.

Subject: [TenTec] small white connectors
Question: Has anyone had any problems with the small two conductor
connectors in the Ten Tec radios? My SUPER Omni VI with the option 3
upgrade has ONE connector that occasionally loses connection and a gentle
touch or nudging causes it to make contact and perform perfectly for a
couple of months or so and then it will again lose connectivity. It is
not a serious problem, but an inconvenient one. I have not attempted to
manipulate the contacts manually to adjust for more reliable connection,
but have used DeOxit Gold on several occasions but that is not any more
of a permanent fix than gently touching it to make it achieve contact. It
is one on the vertical board to the right side of the tuning knob. I have
purposely not attempted to physically adjust the male section for fear
that I might make it even less dependable. If anyone has had personal
hands on experience with these small white connectors and experienced
this problem, I would appreciate hearing of proven experience and
results from you. In the event that replacement might be necessary, what
is the connector called as to type, model and manufacturer?
Does anyone know of a source for these connectors?
As I said before, the Omni VI that I have had since 1992, is the VERY
BEST of all the newer Icom and Kenwood transceivers that I have owned and
still own. That is why I am taking care of my Omni VI and using it every
day and calling a regional 75 meter net with it, Thanks for loving Ten
Tecs with me and for any assistance you can offer. 73, John, K5PGW
