    CDI Connector Adapters 6 pin connector to 4+2 new style

    With the help from Mike, we were able to source the CDI side of the round 6 pin connector (produce in Taiwan). I have a pretty limited stock of that connector, but I can make adapters at request. Great for running a newer CDI on your 84-85 machine like a 86 250r CDI on a 85 250r.

    I also have the square 6 pin connector, and the 3+4 83 ATC200X connectors on hand too.

    I'm still working on a final design for selling, but I can make an one for a given application. There's several different pin-outs on the CDI connectors. I attached a photo to show an example of how they turn out.

    Currently I can adapt anything Honda 85 and older to the modern 86 and up 4+2 style CDI connector. I have a few plugs coming so I can adapt 4+2 to 4+2 for different pin-outs across machines too.

    Here's the machines with the same pin-outs and connector type for a reference (myself included). Note this list doesn't mean the CDI's will work across machines, just that the pin functions match up correctly.

    6 pin square connector
    • 81-83 ATC110
    • 80 ATC185
    • 81-83 ATC185S
    • 81-83 ATC200
    • 82-83 ATC200E
    • 81-84 ATC250R


    4+3 square connectors
    • 83 ATC200X


    6 pin round connector (Pin-out set 1)
    84-85 ATC110
    84-85 ATC125M
    84-85 ATC200M
    84-85 ATC200S

    6 pin round connector (Pin-out set 2)
    84-85 ATC200X
    85 ATC250R

    6 pin round connector (Pin-out set 3)
    85 ATC250ES
    85 ATC250SX

    6 pin round connector (Pin-out set 4)
    84 ATC200ES
    84 TRX200

    6 pin round connector (Pin-out set 5)
    85 TRX125

    In theory, pin-out sets 1,2,4 should be able to use the same adapter, but I have to look into the safety systems a bit more to validate what would happen with say a Chinese CDI.
    Also sets 3 and 5 are similar too, main difference is neutral safety vs reverse safety. With the correct OEM style CDI, the adapter would work fine, with a Chinese CDI it will need to be wired differently.


    Anyway, I have 9 of the round CDI connectors I can use for adapters, so fairly limited supply. These take a while to make with the solder work, so the adapter price is $30, the square 6 pin adapter is $20 since it's all crimp connections. Just let me know what machine you're adapting from and which CDI you're adapting to.

    I can also make 4+2 pig tails where you cut your old connector off and crimp/solder the new connector on, just matching up the colors. I'd be interested in the old connector too. Pig tail is $16 shipped, $5 off for your old round 6 pin CDI connector.

    Any chance I can still get a Pinout type 3 from you for my ATC250ES that has a round sealed 6 plug...?

    Thanks

    Sadly the source we had for the round 6 pin CDI connector stopped offering them. Could ask Mike (Oscarmayer) if he has any adapters left though. Not sure if he's on here much anymore but could try to PM him.

    Here's his site that has an email and phone number to try.
