uBitx V6 power connector

Ford Peterson All Messages By This Member #103015 开云体育 The power connector has proven to be unreliable.? Readily available 5.5mm x 2.5mm connectors have too large a center pin and although the power works, it is unreliable and intermittent if unless you take great care to keep it aligned.? Special order 5.5mm x 2.1mm standard connector is also unreliable and I can visually see that the center pin on the stock V6 is smaller than 2.1mm. ? What is this connector?? Can somebody provide the technical spec?? Better yet, can somebody describe the connector that I can replace it with a more reliable design? ? Thanks ? Ford-N0FP ?
Bob Fischer, Fischer Technical Services All Messages By This Member #103020 I don't know what the original connectors are or if these will be "more reliable" but the price is right and they are sold as sets:? ? Many similar online options to choose from. I have replaced a couple of my original connectors with "connector sets" like these.? Can't remember which eBay vendor I got mine from but using the matching parts has worked fine for me. Good luck.
