Yaesu uses a 5 pin mini DIN plug on the FT-847. This plug is used as a connector for a cable to key a linear amplifier. Actually they use the same connector for HF, VHF, and UHF amps.

I had a very hard time finding a connector that fit. Some (I assume from China) did not fit right. I found some that DO fit fine. I assume they are American, or possibly Japanese. In any case, they do fit OK.

In order to get any kind of a decent price I needed to buy ten. I need one to use on the rig, and want to keep one spare. That leaves eight available, for sale.

They are $5 each (yes, I will end up making about a 16 cent profit!), plus shipping. I can ship one, two, or three via first class mail for $4.60.

It is quite possible that these 5 pin mini DINs are used on other rigs beside the FT-847.

Please let me know how many you want.

Thanks.

I looked at Mouser.com and DigiKey.com both. They had them.

I bought 10 on ebay and paid all 10 pieces together for only $ 5 and shipping included: they were fine.

On Ebay you can find them at very low prices!

Just search MINI DIN 5 via google or via ebay and obviously check the photo of the pinouts before buying them.
