Re: Ft-817 power connector
|
There is a problem with these connectors. I was using one and the connector got yanked while it was plugged in. It pulled the DC jack loose from the pc board. I had an awful time repairing it. Now the jack connection is very flimsy and I have to treat it with care. I find that the one I pictured, with the screw connecting it to the radio, is a very solid and stable connection. It's not going to pull out or damage the jack on the radio.

The proper Yaesu part, EDC-6, is $9

Power pole to 1.7mm is $10

If you want just the connector, it's a 1.7mm coaxial connector, $1.39 at digikey

Hope that helps, Ken, N2VIP ? Hi, gang...

well the subject says it all. I'm looking for the little coaxial power jack for the 718. I've searched Amazon and eBay. I don't want to spend $25 for a connector with a hunk of wire on it.?

The plug in the back Anderson power pole thingiee would be okay, but apparently there's some rather nasty ripoffs floating around.
?
Is there a Mouser part number handy?
?
Thanks..
