Frequently Asked Questions

How do I repair a damaged reversing camera connector?

If the housing is cracked or the latch is broken: replace the housing. If terminals are corroded: extract the corroded terminals, clean the wire ends, crimp new Sumitomo terminals, and reinsert. Apply dielectric grease to the terminal contact area before reassembly to prevent future corrosion. Reversing camera connectors are particularly prone to corrosion from road spray — ensure the replacement connector is fully sealed (IP67) and the wire seals are correctly installed.

What contacts are compatible with 6189-7428?

Sumitomo 6189-series connectors use Sumitomo-specific contacts. Cross-reference the connector part number in the Sumitomo catalog or Toyota/Honda parts catalog to identify compatible contact part numbers. Common Sumitomo contact sizes for 6-pin connectors: 0.64mm or 1.5mm pitch depending on the specific connector series.

Why buy 20 sets?

20-set packs are for automotive workshops and accessory installers who regularly install or repair reversing cameras. Reversing camera connectors are a high-frequency repair item — having bulk stock eliminates reorder delays during installation jobs. The 6189-7428 connector is used across multiple Toyota and Honda model years, making it a high-volume workshop stock item.
