Auxiliary Male 2 Pin Connector Plug - AB-1868D

What It Is

The Auxiliary Male 2 Pin Connector Plug (AB-1868D) is a replacement electrical connector used to restore power connections on lawn mowers, tractors, and zero-turn mowers. It’s designed for wiring harness repairs where the original male plug has corroded, broken, or melted.

Fitment & Compatibility

This is an aftermarket part, not OEM. Before buying:

• Check pin spacing – Measure center-to-center distance between the two male pins. Common spacing is 0.25” (6.35mm) or 0.312” (7.9mm). The AB-1868D uses a specific spacing; verify against your mower’s female connector.
• Verify wire gauge – The plug typically accepts 14-18 AWG wire. Use a wire gauge tool or compare to your existing wire.
• Confirm connector shape – The plug housing is rectangular with a locking tab. Compare the profile to your mower’s female socket (e.g., on Briggs & Stratton, Kawasaki, or Kohler engines).
• Check brand/model – Commonly fits older John Deere, MTD, Craftsman, and Husqvarna models, but not universal. Search your mower’s model number + “2 pin connector” for cross-reference.
• Measure overall length – The plug body is ~1.2” long. Ensure it will fit in tight harness locations.

Key Things to Know

• Material quality – Rated 4.0/5, but only 1 review. Some users report the plastic housing feels less durable than OEM. Inspect for cracks before installation.
• Installation difficulty – Easy if you have a crimping tool. No soldering required. Strip 1/4” of wire, insert into the metal terminal, crimp firmly, then push into the housing until it clicks.
• Common gotcha – The locking tab can break if forced. Align the plug squarely before pushing. Also, the pins may be slightly thicker than OEM – test fit before fully wiring.
• Polarity – This plug is not keyed (no specific orientation). If your mower uses a polarized connector for safety circuits, this may not be a direct drop-in. Use a multimeter to confirm wiring order.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a quick, low-cost fix for a corroded or broken 2-pin male connector on an older mower and are comfortable with basic wiring. Skip it if you require OEM-grade durability, need a polarized connector, or have a newer machine with proprietary plugs—spend a few dollars more for an OEM replacement.
