timbo343 Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 We have an IP camera that supports audio in however we need a terminal connector for it to work. Apparently its a 8 pin Dinkle ESC250V but trying to find one in the UK is proving difficult. I havent got a Maplins catalogue otherwise id look in there. I've attached a photo of the socket it goes into. Can anyone help? Thanks
Chris_Cook Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 It looks similar to a Phoenix connector. possibly one of these would fit. Pluggable Terminal Blocks | Farnell element14 There is some difference on pin spacing, but otherwise I think they are almost a standard. 1
Oaktech Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 That's not a Dinkle Connector, that's a Phoenix connector... I'm looking for you now. 1
timbo343 Posted June 21, 2016 Author Posted June 21, 2016 I was told it was a dinkle connector by the camera manufacturer.

The blocks you have quoted each pin looks like it has a little frame or its own socket where as the one im after doesnt so i dont think it would fit.
Chris_Cook Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 According to this, the pin spacing is 2.5mm,and no gaps between pins. http://www.dinkle.com/upfiles/proter21358919438.pdf This looks almost identical: FK-MC 0,5/8-ST-2,5 - PHOENIX CONTACT - Pluggable Terminal Block, 8 Ways, 160 V, 4 A, 2.5 mm, 26 AWG, 20 AWG | Farnell element14 1

timbo343 Posted June 21, 2016 Author Posted June 21, 2016 Its one of these http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Dinkle-ESC250V-02P-03P-04P-05P_60379027781.html but ill be dammed if i can find one in the UK. Im thinking the phoenix connectors are slightly different

The only way to see is to order one.
Oaktech Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 The only difference looks like the means of fixing the wires in... The Phoenix connector is screw terminal whereas the Dinkle is spring clip... I'd go for the screw terminal personally!
difinity Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 What camera is it ? I work for a company that sells CCTV cameras and stuff, I can have a look to see if we have them when I go in tomorrow. Alibaba has what looks to be the one. https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/2-5mm-8pin-DINKLE-SPRING-for_60379010164.html There is a difference to the Phoenix plug.

difinity Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 I'm guessing its a TCM-7811 ? I'll see what is at work tomorrow. I take it you've got the pin out for it ?

Not a bad little camera to be honest and was really impressed with the viewing angle. Yep, ive got the pin out for it, i tried to bodge a connection on to the pins with the old usb connectors on a motherboard but got more "buzz" than audio from the mic.
plexer Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 Why do you need to record audio? "The use of audio recording, particularly where it is continuous, will, in most situations, be considered more privacy intrusive than purely visual recording. Its use will therefore require much greater justification. Audio recording should only be used where: You have identified a need or issue which can be characterised as a pressing social need and can evidence that this need must be addressed."
