1500-0071 MTW Series 2.8mm (110) Male Terminal

The Component: Genuine Sumitomo 1500-0071 male automotive unsealed crimp terminal contact. MTW Series 2.8mm (110) Type tin-plated brass flat male tab pin terminal (Reel Form / Loose Piece Cross-Ref: 1500-0071-L / Global Industry Competitor Cross-Ref: Connector ID CID209-2.8-MU1 / Factory Alternative Part Cross-Ref: 1800-2097 for unplated brass or Nippon Tanshi 17112-2).

Applications & Fitment: Engineered as a primary factory original equipment (OE) male pin connection solution for low-voltage signal distribution, main handlebar controls, and auxiliary power paths. Universally recognized across vintage and modern Japanese motorcycle architectures (prominently specified on classic Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, and Kawasaki wiring systems) and legacy automotive assemblies. Most notably utilized as the definitive male inline interface for motorcycle stator junctions, ignition triggers, regulator-rectifier drops, and steering column accessory feeds. Highly vulnerable to tab buckling or twisting if forced blindly into misaligned female socket plug chambers during field service, or barrel crimp failure if terminated using generic un-profiled DIY hand tools rather than specified open-barrel factory crimping jaws.
