  • This is an Example of an AMP Plug showing the arrangement of the Flat spots on the two outer pins versus the colors...
On an AMP Plug left to right would be
(1) Speed Black Skip a Space White then Green..
(2) Speed Red, Black, White and Green...
Note: There are rare cases when the Red wire is Low Speed and Black is High in this case you would revers the order of the black and red... To determine this compare the black wire spade connector number on the schematic on the old motor to the speed it corresponds to before unhooking to move the wire to the new motor..
  • This is an example of a 2 speed AMP Plug..
Note: if this goes on a Motor that is 115V the white wire would be Neutral if it is 230V the white wire would be Hot 115V...
In these positions Red is normally High Speed, Black, Low, White Neutral and Green Ground..
  • This is an example of a J&J Cord.. The order of the pins cannot be changed but the motor end can..
Note: There are rare cases when the Red wire is Low Speed and Black is High in this case you would revers the order of the black and red... To determine this compare the black wire spade connector number on the schematic on the old motor to the speed it corresponds to before unhooking to move the wire to the new motor..
  • This is an example of a 2 speed J&J Old Style Plug.. The order of the pins cannot be changed but the motor end can..
