Hi,
I am looking for a supplier for a 6 pin din male to female converter (not mini / PS/2) in the UK - ie a gender changer. This needs to be openable so I can get in and swap a couple of pins. I have tried farnell and maplin, but they seem to only to supply plugs and sockets. Anybody know where I can get one ?
Thanks
Mike
You'd be far better off getting a line plug and socket and wiring the two ,with the required adjustment, with a foot cable. This takes the mechanical strain of the extended assembly off the chassis socket. The bits should be easier to get, too.
The existing cable to which I need to connect this is rather lightweight and used very infrequently. I don't want to make the overall cable any longer than it is already, hence me wanting to wire a converter rather than an extra cable.

Get some of the better ones, like the nickel plated Neutrik ones, remove the cable strain releifs, and use just enough wire to reach so that you can put it together like Mike says, but then stuff the slack into both plugs so they butt against each other, then bind them with heatshrink sleeving. Hold the pin ends between finger and thumb to clamp gently while blowing hot air tangentially across the axis so you heat only the heatshrink.
Umm, like Graham says. Sorry..
