G450 Rotator plastics plug?

Post by VK2GOM »

Just wondering if anyone can advise a source for the plastics Molex-style connector on the back of a G450 rotator?

It's not actually a Molex, more like a mini-Molex if there was such a thing. Jaycar Molex plugs are far bigger.

I see Yaesu importers stock them for $50 a pair - the metal plug at the rotator end and the plastics plug. I am a bit loathe to spend $50 for a $1 connector since I already have the rotator plug.

If the worst comes to the worst, out come the files and I will modify the back panel of the control box and fit a locking 5 pin mic socket instead.

Have you got any photos of it? Element 14 or RS might have something suitable.

It looks like it is available through RS (thanks Owen). I will find a price for it.

PS. Have also found a source from an Amateur in the USA. He sells them worldwide for $5 each including post. He says he's sent a few to VK of late. I have ordered two.
