Hello everyone. I'm not sure if this is the suitable place to post this but I have been quite a lot time looking for this cable/connector without success. If anyone knew anything I would be greatly gratefull.

Thanks in advance!
 

It looks like a "miniature DIN" connector, similar to the types used on keyboards and mouse cables but the female rather than male end. Try looking for a company called "Schurter", they make similar ones but I'm not sure if they make the one with that pin configuration.

It's similar to a mini-DIN but a little bigger. Not luck in Schurter's catalogue. Thanks anyway!
 

Connector looks like Mini-DIN but I will say its unique for some product. Often companies do this for their products to keep usage of their cables. I think there is little chance to find this connector in shops.


Best regards,
Peter

Hello Peter. I'm afraid you are right. This connector belongs to a cable to program a electric wheelchair. The manufacturer sells the cable for almost 200€ which I think it's extremely expensive. That's why I wanted to mount the cable by myself. Seeing that there's no way to find the connector I will make a handmade one.

Thanks to all of you for your help.

Yes, that is very often final solution, changing existing connectors on both sides (cable and PCB) with some standard pin arrangement connector, or making completely new cable.


Best regards,
Peter
