Gentlemen -
I need some of the metal connector shells for a GNS530.
Anybody have part number equivalents for Digikey, Mouser, etc?

What genre' of connector? I was thinking they were
high density d-subs?

I'll dig around in my install manuals and see
if I can confirm.

The 430 has both std & hi density connectors. the stock backshells are apparently available from only one or two sources. Here's an ebay listing with a pretty good pic:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/GNS430-GNS430W-GNS530-GNS530W-Connector-Kits-011-00351-00-/143440923345?_trksid=p2385738.m4383.l4275.c10

In my not so humble opinion, the backplane/connector arrangement is almost enough reason, by itself, to avoid Garmin. A real nightmare dealing with the tiny screws using a foot long screwdriver reaching into the back of the tray...

Looking at one I have left over from an Avidyne install, here’s the mouser page for the connector. I’m pretty sure you can track down the back shell from this:
https://www.mouser.ca/ProductDetail/TE-Connectivity/204521-2
TE part code 204521-2

Here’s a size 5 back shell that would fit the 78 pin connector:
https://www.mouser.ca/ProductDetail/Amphenol-Pcd/M85049-48-2-5F?qs=GaJ26EWJkZTRGEGAZKUsJA%3D%3D
I’m fairly sure the shell sizes are standard so you can mix and match. At the least, the dimensioned drawings are available to check.

Agreed, but we’re stuck with it for now. Found a connector kit on eBay...

Well…It’s hardly a singular Garmin issue, as they are the same on Avidyne, (as well as Bendix King, Narco, L3, PSE, etc..) so if you are all about avoiding using a long screwdriver to remove the backplate and/or connectors you’re not left with much choice of avionics.
 
The newer generation stuff is much better, but much of the older generation stuff is a pain (regardless of brand).
 
Cheers,
Stein
