on an Onkyo Dx-1400, and I am sure others, there are two connectors for wires to the CD mechanism (actually 4) that are 8 and 9 pins and go from the board to the laser assembly. Does anyone know exactly what these connectors are so that I can order a new plug. single row, 2mm pitch, pins on the board and crimped sockets on the wire end.
Possibly try searching under JST 9 pin connectors???? I do not know if they do 2mm pitch, but 2.5mm seems to be common.
Probably a standard 2mm JST? https://www.digikey.co.uk/en/produc...UmLTIcpWnPV5HToBRELBy0Ls1n7dvO8PxUy-wxZFC8gDi
But I think you mean male header, not plug, which is ambiguous here! You can also get bare 2mm header strips for a kludged approach!

Many thanks. There are quite a number of connectors with similar configurations. I had no idea whether JST, Molex, or something else. The JST looks perfect. I munched one of the crimp on connectors and thought a whole new plug with wires was much better. Digikey has wires with crimped on connectors. Suppose I could just replace the munched one. Thanks again. Yay!!! Deoxit and transistor tester showed up today.
