Ferg,

Ordering is a bit difficult at first as you have to select the plug or
receptacle body, whether fixed or free, then find the matching housing with
cable clamp. Pins and sockets to suit also have to be ordered separately.

e.g. for a free 16 way connection you might need:-
1 x 182642-1 plug
1 x 206036-3 receptacle
2 x cable clamps for size 17 shells
quantity of pins & sockets either tin plated or gold plated, for either
16/18AWG or 20/24 AWG

Takes a bit of sorting out but is fairly logical once you have found the
right section. Try searching under 'AMP series 1'

I found a pin removal tool essential (unless you can guarantee to get every
pin crimped and inserted right first time).
