Does anyone know a source for the pin sleeves in the white connector (plugs onto white 11 pin plug) on the Harman Stoves? I need to add a wire to my existing harness for the Yellow conductor (position 8 of the 11 pin plug) for the addition of an igniter in an effort to convert a P61 to a P61A. A reference of the wiring diagrams for each of the stoves (I have both a P61 and a P61A) shows the difference of the Yellow conductor for pin position 8 and an additional conductor (lt. blue) from the pressure switch (same side of pressure switch that goes to auger motor) connecting to the igniter; I have no hopper switch on the P61. I have the new board, the new fire pot, the new ignitor & cradle kit already, so I'm just in need of the pin sleeves for the white connector or I must buy a complete wire harness, which would also mean an entire rewire of the stove which is kind of senseless since it is only lacking one conductor for the connector that plugs into the white 11 pin plug. I'm hoping someone has already done a conversion using the existing harness, thanks in advance for any input.
 
they are more than likely Molex connectors digikey, newark, mouser all cary them but you will have to ck the data sheets to find the one you need
 
This is where I'm lost " but you will have to ck the data sheets to find the one you need", there are so many to choose from, I was hoping someone had been down this road already. I don't have a problem when it comes to following the schematics and making the additions where necessary, that is the easy part; finding the small pieces is where I struggle.
 
Can you post a pic of the board side. Length & width measurement in millimeters and inches. I will try and locate one

Are you talking about the entire connector/board? I have some picks of the sleeves and pins (attached), if so, I can get the measurements, but I really only need the pin sleeves.

the item you have in your hand is actually a PIN but its the female side. and they are proprietary to the plug housing. now the part on the board is a PIN HEADER. there is literally thousands of them and not knowing the brand it would be a huge shot in the dark. any markings on the hosing?
 
Yes, its the female side that I'm looking for, I didn't see any markings on the female portion of the 11 pin connector, the one in my hand is just one that I removed from the 11 pin female connector of the P61A that is on the bench for cleaning right now. Maybe I should be asking if anyone has a junk harness (or at least 1 wire with the connector from the 11 pin connector) that they don't need!

I converted my P38 To auto ignition by converting it to a P43. I had to replace the harness. It was pretty easy if you end up going that route

I would love to do this same thing. I have a P38 (one of the last models they made) with the newest board. What parts did you have to purchase to upgrade it besides the igniter and harness? I'm getting sick of the blow-torch start method and would love to just "press a button"!
