Trying to identify these connectors (molex?)...
« on: March 18, 2014, 08:46:59 PM »
I'm trying to identify these two connectors (for this project) :



(The one on the middle, and the one on the right)


Spending a lot of time of various web shops, but no luck so far. Looks like molex connector, but which references ? Nothing is logical when you name it! Sometime it's the number of rows, of colons, of pin or anything else? ... any good trick to find out the right references?  :?

Well, the manual doesn't list the parts, and on the schema related to the area where these connectors are located, they just write... connectors  :-X

...BUT...

in this schema, they specify 'something'! These are the two connectors I'm looking for  :arrow:



I'm gonna google these new references... hope they will be useful...

Found fews things that start to look like the ones I'm looking for, but still not the right one  :-\

Here's the sizes of my connectors (approximative)  :arrow:



At this step, I would already be very happy if I can find these connectors with "square shape per pin" everywhere...

That's not Molex, molex has rounded shapes, not angular like these.

JM probably simply indicates Jumper so that's no use.

Since it's Japanese stuff I guess you'll have to look in that direction ?

Yes, that what I did, and they were very kind, trying to help... but following their research, this is not a MOLEX product  :-\

Not an AMP Make'n'Lok?

I've found a connector 'Make'n'Lok' that may be the one I'm looking for. It looks the same at first sight, but I may have not the same size.
I  ordered it but a little bit too fast...yeah I'm this kind of guy, just can't wait!  ::) :P  I should have it in a couple of day... fingers crossed  8)

Correcting a typo, that should have been "Mate'n'Lok" :) They do the same design in a few different size configurations with male and female pins. I think they're the ones on IGR power supplies - the connectors I used to fit this were UNI-MATE series from DigiKey:
