Re: [time-nuts] Connector options for HP10811A?

[Bob kb8tq]

Hi

Yes, I have used all the parts I mentioned. They all had the right spacing /
right number of pins.

I have no idea what the spec drawing on the 520-201 is trying to show.

I just ordered some from Mouser in November, this is it:

https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/587-305-50-030

They list 41 in stock, for 1 to 9 the price is $8.43

Thanks for all of the replies to my question about a connector for the

[Burt I. Weiner]

Frank,

Can you send me a picture of the connector?

Are you familiar with APEX (Surplus) Electronics in Sun Valley.  The 
sometimes have unusual connectors.  The problem is, you may have to 
look through the place for it.  The good news is that they can tell 
you where to start looking.

Re: [time-nuts] Connector options for HP10811A?

[Bob kb8tq]

Hi

The connector is a very normal 2 x 15 position 0.156” spaced edge connector. 
You can buy them on Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0721L5VSD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8=1
 


From Mouser:

https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/587-307-030-520-201 


From various people on eBay:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Card-edge-connector-row-30-Pin-3-96mm-pitch-805-slot-solder-PCB-2x15-socket-NMGG/293411808673?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT=592241315857&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

( ummm …. errr …. no, not that last one, it’s 18 pin … I only counted the pins 
*after* they got here :) )

or from a variety of other sources. 

If you dig a bit there is even a guy selling the full adapter for the 10811, 
(for a crazy price) but not identifying it
as working with the 10811

[time-nuts] Connector options for HP10811A?

[Frank O'Donnell]

I recently bought an HP10811A oscillator on eBay, only belatedly 
realizing that it's designed to interface to a 15-contact connector that 
the manual identifies as a CINCH 250-15-30-210 or equivalent.


A search turns up a vendor in Massachusetts called BMI Surplus Inc., 
that appears to have these in stock in new condition at a minimal price. 
The only hitch is that BMI's website says they're closed down due to 
COVID-19 and will not process any orders until their state government 
authorizes businesses to return. (And at this point, it's anyone's guess 
when that will be.)


To get going with the oscillator, it occurs to me that I could rig up a 
few small alligator clips and use them on the required contacts for the 
time being. Any other thoughts or suggestions on how to work this? By 
any chance are there other known sources for the right size of connector 
that might be operating right now?
