What type of connection for heated gear?

I'm trying to simplify the accessories hook-up on my bike, but I need to know what type of connection goes between the Tourmaster Synergy gear and the battery. (I want to add an adapter so I can run SAE connection (battery charger, 12V accessory, etc) and heated gear off of the same fused connection, but I don't know what type of connection that is or where I can get one. Is it a Tourmaster Proprietary connection? Is it powerlet? Some sort of automotive coaxial connector?

I can take a picture, if it would help.

Coax, same as Gerbings and some aerostich heated clothing. Now if only the controller wasn't a weird connector at the clothing we could buy the great cheap synergy liners and use gerbings controllers.

Here is the harness that comes with it. I believe the connector on the end is a coax connector.



Here is an adapter (SAE coaxial adapter) that is available that I think will meet your needs.

This is EXACTLY what I want! I went into an electronics parts store and they didn't have it. Where did you see this?
Coax can mean a lot of different things in different types of electronics, it's just called Coax, huh?

Google "coax to SAE" and you will find lots of places to purchase.

Is it the same as the Powerlet coax?

I believe it is.

The picture above is male coax by sae, if you want to plug in the synergy stuff you will want female coax.
Yes powerlet coax is the same coax. All of the power connectors in this realm that are coax should be compatible.

Also note that you may need to up the fuse size to fit the heated gear if you are using a lead intended for a battery tender type charger.

This is the Warm N Safe adapter so you can use WnS controller.

You're right! I would have been sad if I had ordered the wrong end.

I did realize I'll need a bigger fuse on there, that was the one thing I was able to get on my own.

Ordered. Thanks, guys!

Careful. If you want to plug the adapter into the Tourmaster battery connection, then you will want the male coax end.
