Military 61 pin connector - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

sunthaiboy · 7th Dec 2018, 5:46 pm

Not quite sure if this thread needs to be on the wanted section....but I'm looking to source 2 x 61 pin round military connectors in order to make up a test lead for my R&S SK310 transceiver which is currently sick. The connectors were made for R&S but I'm sure the inserts are the usual military configuration and suspect they were made by Raychem.

I cannot quite yet bring myself to cutting the very short internal lead in half and extending it so I can run the HPA up outside the racking system.

Photos of the lead and the insert as photos. The markings on the push-fit metalwork is: 1076 CD 9 AD S09 61p B727. No sure if the character spacing is relevant. The inside dia. of the metalwork is 26mm. Thanks

Maybe worth a "wanted advert" in case someone has a spare.

That 61-pin layout is beautifully symmetrical but doesn't match common military types I can find. It may be proprietary or from a less common professional connector series.

Thanks Chris. I should of said think or hope (not sure) they are standard military types/sizes. Just noticed the missing "t". Eeeek. Nothing R&S does seems standard.......

Perhaps have a look on the BW-Schmitti website - they often have odd stuff that is ex Bundeswehr.
