Fl.32113-12 Steckereinsatz | Deutscheluftwaffe

Having owned and maintained several BMW cars, I am quite sure that this item is a fuse holder - possibly for the instrument panel etc.
I'm aftraid, that's not the fuse holder but a 20-pin plug connection for on-board electrical system. Actually it consists of two parts ( male and female part type ). In the quoted pics just it is seen the Fl.32113-12 male part of it only. The "female" part is the Fl.32113-11

So, these multi-connectors were used where required for easy quick connect/disconnect of aircraft wiring looms. They became more common as German aircraft production became more dispersed and the aircraft wiring looms were not built into the complete aircraft in one piece. Also, the more complex electronic equipment required many QD plugs. However, these multi-connectors shown are the ones generally used at the construction break/points of the aircraft wiring loom.
You can see that these multi-connectors are designed to be fastened to the structure and are not really Q/D as such. With pressurised aircraft, these connectors were cast in solid rubber to actually seal against the bulkhead that they fastened to. A common application like that is the pressurised Bf 109 G-1/3/5, which have the rubber type at the bottom RHS corner of the front firewall frame, earlier unpressurised 109's had complete looms with wiring simply passing through a wood or Tufnol/Paxolin type wiring clamp in that position.
From experience, the rubber type connectors were also used on the later (1944/45) non-pressurised 109's, probably just because they were available and did the same job as the hard Bakelite ones.

Yes my friend, you are correct. It is the part. My answer is the replay to Paul E.'s post above. It is suggested there this item is a fuse holder.

Funny how 2 of these pop up at more or less the same time.

As said its a common part. So more then one Manufacturer could have had it in its parts catalogus.
OK. IMHO that's the rear mounting for the machine guns used for Fw 190. These can be the MG 17, 131 or 151/20.
Please show the full pages of the parts lists to help. The 102-160 Gerat certainly looks like a gun mount.
Eng
Yes. Unfortunately, I don't have all the original info on the 190, but as the OP has some pics of the Ersatzteilliste, hopefully he could post them. I am leaning towards the top 131 fitting but I haven't got a Gerat number.
Eng
Definitely not MG 17, but likely rear rear fitting for one of the 131 or 151 mountings.

perhaps the ammunition found can help identify the type of machine gun

Can you get a ruler for dimensions in the pic?
IMHO the smaller rounds seem to be of the MG 131 while the larger shell of the MG 151. But I agree with Snautzer , the measurement would be helpful.
