[Amateur-repairs] Need mating connector for Kenwood PS-30 power supply

 

I think I got a hit:



Look at the 2nd picture down, which is from the connector to connector side. The
third picture is where the wires go into the pin from the back, which would be
inside a radio if it were installed in one. That side is all round holes for the
wires, no D shapes.

I think the part where the one connector chassis socket has a ridge to catch the
clip on the connector on the end of the power cord from the supply is under the
item in all pictures. I'm not sure it matters. I can wrap it with tape to keep
it held together.

About $8 with shipping. I'm not in any hurry, fortunately, as it will take about
a week to get here. Maybe longer.

Does it look good before I buy it? There's another one but it costs more and
it's in the UK, not where I live (USA).

The second pic in the ebay listing is attached.

Looks like the right one to me. Make sure you put the proper pins into the housing. The pins themselves are male and female.
The pins on the radio side are the male pins. The pins on the power cord plug are the female pins.

Thanks for the warning. It would be easy to put the wrong ones in. I don't know
why the typical installation wasn't female pins in the female connector shell
and vice versa but that seems to be the usual way to doing it (the way you
said).

What's really confusing is that there are so many different combinations of
squares, rounds, and Ds to prevent plugging the wrong ones together in a
production line but it sure makes it confusing to the end user trying to repair
things.
