Header for analog board logic board cable
Posted by: mloret on 2022-04-27 10:38:03 Hey I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find a new header for the cable that runs from the analog board to the logic board in a 128k/512k/Plus? I don't even know what to search for 🙁

Posted by: mloret on 2022-04-27 11:05:20 Aha! Thank you.

Posted by: cheesestraws on 2022-04-30 08:00:50 Aha! Thank you. Something like this would work just fine? That's missing the catch, I'd be wary of that myself. Something more like this: CH 3.96mm PCB Socket 2-12p Crimp Connector B2W (Molex 5239 / KK396 Style) \| eBay UK Compatible with Molex KK 396 / Molex 5239 series connectors. CH Series Crimp Connectors. CH-396 connectors are a series of board-to-wire crimp connectors. They feature a friction lock, high current capabilities and a small footprint. www.ebay.co.uk note the plastic catch on one side. Pretty sure this is the official part family you want: https://www.molex.com/molex/search/deepSearch?pQuery=category%253A%2522PCB%2BHeaders%2522%2540breakaway%253A%2522No%2522%2540productname%253A%2522KK%2B396%2522 When replacing a connector always do an eyeball check to check that it's got the same features as the connector you are trying to replace.
Posted by: mloret on 2022-04-30 08:14:22 Thank you for the advice. The catch drives me crazy but yeah, you have a point. Thank you!
Posted by: cheesestraws on 2022-04-30 08:23:33 The catch drives me crazy but yeah, you have a point. With the ones you posted, especially, you have no visual clue about which way is the 'right' way to plug it in, and that sounds like something that'd lead to disaster if you're anything like me
Posted by: mloret on 2022-04-30 08:25:22 Yup, I'm totally like you.
