I'm looking for some 8 Pin Din connectors with 262 degree spacing. The normal spacing is 270 degrees, and those I have plenty of. They are what Kenwood use to use on their VFO output, and Aux/VFO input on the older hybrids. I have found some, but $8 a pop is a little steep as I need about 8-10 of them, and usually pay about a buck each, and that source is out of stock and has no idea about delivery. Thanks

Mouser and Digikey list them as non-stock, but the type is a Switchcraft 20GM8M/F.

Yep, that's it. I was hoping my wife might have some NOS at work, but no. I ordered a couple from K4EAA to get me by for now, but I'd like to get a hold of a few more to have around for some stuff I'm doing.

Universal has them for $9/ea. A little steep but in stock.

Yeah, I tried all the usual suspects. The last batch I got from NKC, but they've been out for awhile. Seems like the going rate is about 8 per and 15+ shipping. I'm sure somebody has a junque box full of them. I just need to find that omeone.........
Thanks for looking around.

I think I still have a few 8-pin DIN plugs that fit the RS-422 serial port of "old-world" Macs but I don't know if they are 262° or 270° spacing and have no idea how to find out. If you know that they are what you need, they're yours for the price of postage.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Thanks Carlo, but I'm pretty sure those were 270. I've heard some say the 270 is more of a "U" and the 262 more of a "C", but I'm hard pressed to see it unless I have them side by side.

Probably just as well—those mini-DIN plugs were a bitch to solder anyhow.
