ADB Connector replacement
Posted by: Alexandre on 2021-01-04 13:45:53
Hi everyone

I have an adb keyboard (M0116) that i diagnosed the left adb connector is faulty. Now i want to replace it and im wondering if someone can tell me where to order it for a good price? (Im from Canada)

Or may i have to buy a defective keyboard from ebay?

Thank you very much 🙂

S-Video and ADB are physically and Electrically compatible so try looking for an S-Video connector either online or maybe of an old junk VCR or TV

The connector is called Mini-DIN-4 and you can also get it new if you don't have any old S-Video stuff lying around.

The nice thing about mini-DIN connectors is they're pretty easy to get, too.  I'm not sure where one would get them in Canada, but here I just order them from my normal electronic components supplier(s) or, if I'm feeling adventurous, eBay...

Would this work for OP?  (Not sure how the ADB connector mounts to the PCB in that keyboard)
