As Dennis points out, not all of these female plug connectors are the same. They are used to pass wires through firewalls or other bulkheads, and the same configuration is used to hold the round fuses Porsche used. Maybe the bulkhead connectors have the pins in a slightly different orientation, as six pin instead of five? But most, if not all, of them are tailored for their function. For instance, moving the current from the ignition switch to the main fuse box is going to require a much thicker wire than moving current to a relay coil, and so on

As Dennis says, you need to confirm that your connector is shorted internally, and it isn't just that on the fuse box wires from several fuses with a common supply don't pass through that same connector, or the like. You don't often hear of these plugs shorting out - fuses would blow first, or the wires themselves would show the signs of distress by being very discolored and with brittle insulation from being baked.

What led you to suspect that it had somehow failed?
