c64 power plug/connector

Parts Questions
1

I’m looking for a c64 style power plug. I built my own power supply for the 6582, but want to use its c64 power jack. I’d rather not cut the end off my old c64 power supply, so does anyone know where I can get a c64 style power plug?

Thanks

You need a male 7-pin DIN plug - the pinout is here:

And here is a link to the corresponding item on Reichelt, but you can surely get it in the Mouser/Digikey stores, too :slight_smile:

Thank you!

I’ll have to change the pinout, as I’m supplying all the clean DC voltages to the 6582, but that’s under control.

Hey Peter,

any idea where to get this: https://hbe-shop.de/DIN-BUCHSELPT7P-Typ-PSG03465 besides this shop? Wants 10EUR for shipping :shifty: Checked Reichelt and Mouser, but had no luck.

Interesting, Reichelt does not have the 7-pin variant in shop :slight_smile:

But you might be able to use this 8-pin socket in conjunction with normal 7-pin plugs and clip off the 8-th pin before soldering it on the PCB:

If you don´t need a PCB-solderable 7-pin DIN socket, i can highly recommend these

in conjunction with the corresponding screw-plugs - epic contact, really good quality :slight_smile:

Many greets,

Peter

Thanks :flowers: Will try to clip it off.

If I fail, I’ll spend the 10EUR …whatever… :rolleyes:

Ok. i hope it works, i have not checked the pin arrangement for this socket, and if it is “only one pin more” - if the pins are all in different places, my suggestion clearly sucks, better check before :slight_smile:

Many greets,

Peter
