Help me identifiy this connector

MrTransistorm · 21st January 2006, 05:38 AM

This connector is on a microphone preamp module. It plugs in to a channel strip on my Sony MXP-2000 console. I'd like to make my own mic pres for it, but I need to locate a source for the connectors.

The connector is 15 pin with 2.54mm pitch. It's probably a Japanese type. I was unable to find it on the Hirose, Honda or Tyco websites.

Here is the mating connector on the channel strip.

Are there any markings anywhere? Little symbols? Anything?

Have you tried: Harwin, AMP, Molex, JST, Neltron, Berg?

What is the the center to center measurement on the pins???

MrTransistorm · 24th January 2006, 02:06 AM

The pins are 2.54mm (0.1 in.) on center spacing.

Now that I look more closely I see that there are markings on the back. There is the HRS marking, so it is definitely Hirose. The only other markings are pin numbers.

I looked through every possible connector type on the Hirose website, but to no avail. I'm guessing that this type has been discontinued (the Sony mixer is probably about 20 years old).

If I can't locate this connector, I think I might be able to use standard right angle header pins.

If it is 2.54 mm then it is likely a knock off of an American brand... I've seen those before... maybe BERG?
