Re: [Elecraft] Source of mating ACC cconnector (K3)
There are various sources in the UK and Eu, but I was thinking about folks around the world not as fortunate as us with in-country suppliers. In my view it should be possible to buy all connectors and cables from the main equipment supplier who will then have no problem guaranteeing their own product with quality parts. A one-stop shop if you like.

David, These are standard High Density DB-15 connectors that are available all over the world. Cut one off of an old VGA CRT in the recycle bin if you can't find one in a store. 73, Bob W5OV -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of David Cutter Sent: Thursday, December 24, 2009 3:01 AM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Source of mating ACC cconnector (K3) Be nice if we could order from Elecraft, especially from outside US, along with other bits on order.

Re: [Elecraft] Source of mating ACC cconnector (K3)
A caution for anyone planning to use a recycled VGA cable. Several pins are connected together, often right at the connector. So plan on completely extracting the DB15 connector from the end of the VGA cable - that means cutting off the molded cover and de-solder any connections between the pins. Your K3 will not work correctly if you plug a VGA cable into the ACC socket. 73, Don W3FPR Bob Naumann wrote: Cut one off of an old VGA CRT in the recycle bin if you can't find one in a store. __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Elecraft] Source of mating ACC cconnector (K3)
Jack, It is not identical to most monitor connectors. I have a half dozen monitor cables and all of them are missing a pin 9 connection (I think it's pin 9 - it's one of the BAND pins in any case). If you don't plan to use the BAND signals, then you might be able to get by with a computer VGA cable. I could not find a cable with all 15 pins connected through from any of the usual vendors including Mouser, RadioShack, and any of the computer parts suppliers that I looked at. Someone on this group pointed me to http://www.cablewholesale.com/specs/svga-cable/10h1-20203.htm. I bought this cable and verified that it does have all 15 pins connected through and no pins shorted together and it is working well for me. 73, Ted, W2ZK Jack Colson wrote: The subject line says it all!

Re: [Elecraft] Source of mating ACC cconnector (K3)
I'm sure it was Cable wholesale that also has a nice DB15 Y to allow to devices to be connected. In my case, one is my Quadra AMP and the other is from the MK II for RTTY.

Yes, it's the same connector as a 15-pin VGA monitor connector. However some VGA monitor cables do not have all the necessary pins connected, so be careful...
