So I am planning to do a DIY for some heated gear. On one of my motorcycle, I have a gerbing female connector already installed. I tried quite a few connectors which I have at home, none of them worked with it.

Does anyone know what's the size for a male side for gerbing or if it's going to be 2.5x5.5x10(mm's)?

Thanks for your help :)
 
I think your guess is pretty good. I just measured mine and got a 5.5mm outer diameter, 10mm length from shoulder to end of the male part. Inside appears to be 2.5 though I had to eyeball that a bit.
 
Should be a standard male coax plug. I’ve purchased many sae to m coax short cables off eBay and Amazon (non Gerbing) and all fit the Fe coax from the battery.

Yes. Several in fact as you've observed. Those that are referenced for heated clothing from various moto vendors are most likely the same/proper size.

But it's not so easy picking one out of a bin of various bits. Grab a handful of AC adapters and there are some that look very close but aren't the same.

What is the exact size needed? Dunno. I just by what's needed from WarmnSafe or First Gear.
 
Got a couple of cheapies a few years ago at Radio Shack...... that I believe are size N. The ones from Warm & Safe are more heavy duty and better.
 
2.5 mm coax. Not as sasy to find pre-made as the 2.1 (common video camera size), but they are out there. Google for any local electronic hobby shops around you, they may have some.
