Guest epochsounds Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 Does anyone have a good source for MIDI sockets? I searched Mouser to no avail. I ended up buying 5 pin XLR sockets thinking that might be it but they are way too big.
Tanstaafl Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 I use salvaged AT style keyboard connectors from old motherboards. They seem to work fine. Bound to be a surplus outlet for that kind of thing.good luckgb
raphael Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 Hello epochsounds,I'm from germany, so I get my sockets from reichelt (www.reichelt.de).But I looked at the moser site:They have a lot of MIDI sockets! You have to search for "DIN Circular Connectors". Take the 5pin ones. One which looks similar to the ones from my german distributor is part nr. 161-2105. Hope this helpsRaphael
Guest epochsounds Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 Greetings from USA (sorry about the mess). So that's what they are called! "DIN Circular Connectors" Funny that they don't list them as MIDI too.
Jurbo Posted September 23, 2004 Report Posted September 23, 2004 You also have to make sure you get the degrees right, as there are a million different circular din sockets. The midi socket has 5 pins in a 180 degree arc.Farnell has excellent documentations in their online catalog.
Sephult Posted September 23, 2004 Report Posted September 23, 2004 I have purchased 5-pin dins, from Digikey.com.I believe they have different types, angled surface mount etc...You might check allelectronics.com too, I believe I might have seen some there also.-Good luck
