Cannot see how to open a Mini DIN connector

JohnFW · May 23, 2022

I want to replace a DIN 4 pin mini connector. Great. Bought the replacement - Nakamichi. But can't see how to open the confounded thing!!

Not sure, but when I used DIN connectors, the plastic cover just pulled off. Do you have a link?

Hi - The part concerned is PSG01465. Check it out at https://cpc.farnell.com/pro-signal/...hjOsI9fLXRFWVne7LjM6nNCkqkOe-5LhoCpukQAvD_BwE

It appears to be a metal body rather than the usual cheap PVC!. I have tried twisting, pulling; prying with a sharp blade but all to no effect. I used to work for Philips on the audio side many years ago and everything came with 5 pin DIN connectors, which I absolutely HATE! But this one is proving a real challenge to undo.

According to the engineering drawing they unscrew at the point where the gold part meets the black part.

That is really so helpful! Thank you very much. I just succeeded. Now to the awful task of soldering microscopic contacts

If you struggle with a mini-din, console yourself that you're not soldering the small Lemo plugs ...

Lemo plugs are the worst to assemble, but really great once they are together.

I had to do four of the smallest six pin Lemos once, on top of an engine, at -10 degrees C. That will always stick in my memory
