What Power Connecter is it?

[Achandler]

I always like a good challenge, and today I have been given a DMX controller that is broken. A quick wiggle of the cable and it flicks to life briefly, so after further testing we have proved it was the conenctor on the board.

 

So opening up the DMX controller it is really obvious that the connector needs resoldering to the board minimum (and we are hoping to do it). However, there is also some moverment in the conenctor itself, not just on the soldering to the board.

 

Given the connector itself might be damaged, the question is, what connector is it? Then I can go about buying another one and replacing if necessary.

4 pin mini din.

It looks like a 4 pole DIN to me, but I could be wrong.

That appears to be the right-angle mount version of something like | RS Pro B-2002 Series, 4 Pole Din Socket Socket, 2A, 100 V ac, Twist Lock |

 

The twist lock seems to be the same, haven't found an angled one yet.

I have found out what the male part is, the manufacturer code is PREH 71430-040

 

Just trying to get a female replacement part number now! I believe @Oaktech si right, its a 4-pin mini din - lock in version

you might be right, I've just seen the locking ring...

I believe I have dug it out. I'm thinking its one fo these 71251-040/0800
