Exact inner and outer diameter of power connector ?


 

Hi,

What are the exact inner and outer diameter of the FT-817 power
connector ? I've no tool to make an exact measurement ...
I guess outer diameter 3,8 mm and inner diameter 1,3 mm, but are
these really the exact figures ?


Thanks,
Gerald

Hi Gerald,

I suggest a good place to look for information about the FT-817 in
general is in the FAQ for this site. Under CONNECTORS you will find
regarding the power connector ---

"It is a coax-style jack having dimensions of 4.0 x 1.7 mm. One
source is Radio Shack and the part number is 274-1532. WARNING: The
power plug is not the most durable plug seen, so be careful not to
try to force the wrong size jack onto the plug. An "exact"
replacement for the Yaesu supplied jack is Philmore No. TC240 (6 Ft.
DC Power Cord)."

I think the answer is in the FAQ, but to save you looking the plugs
I've bought are described as 4mm x 1.7mm.
