 |
|
I need to buy the Molex connector for my Insight GEM 602. It is a 15/30 pin edge connector with a 0.100" pitch between contacts. It also has a notch in the card to prevent the connector being installed backwards. Any idea what the part number I need is and where I could buy it? There is no info regarding this in the documentation I received with the unit. It also appears that this series [4338 ??] of connector has been deemed obsolete by Molex.

PS I tried to attach a photo of the rear of the unit, but this forum does not allow jpg attachments.

Check out the Molex data page on my website:
https://tinyurl.com/7t6jjsc
Data there includes descriptions and photos
of the 4338 series connectors and pins. Yeah,
been out of production for a long time.
Over the years I've had some luck finding
connectors at surplus electronics shops
but those opportunities are growing really
skinny too.
I do have a few pieces of work-around left
over from the last few times I had your
problem. You'll see some pictures on the website
where a builder cut two larger connectors and
spliced them together with JB Weld to achieve
the proper pin-count.
Sorry, not gold plated. Not crimped either . . . ran
out of those pins about 15 years ago. However,
I've used this technique at least twice to get
one of these vintage radios up and running. You're
welcome to a 1-1/2 12-pin connectors (pictured)
to take a whack at this fix. Keeping half of
a connector on hand will allow me to offer this
fix at least one more time.

Ebay is always worth a look.
Molex edge connector
My permanent solution, for experimental applications, is a soldering iron, some milspec wire, and a subD connector.
