Welcome to Show Me Cables. Today we’ll be taking a look at the commonly used and often confusing DIN connectors. This is the 8 Pin DIN female solder connector. To install, you will need the following items: low voltage cable, wire strippers, solder and soldering iron and the DIN connector. Start by inserting the boot over the jacket. Measure how far you will need to strip back the jacket by holding the cable up against the base of the connector. Then, strip the cable jacket using the wire strippers. For this example, we are using Cat5e cable. You will also need to strip the individual conductors. Now comes the hard part. Soldering. If you are new to soldering, it is recommended to find a someone who is more experienced for best results. There are 8 solder points on the connector, corresponding to the pins at the front of the connector. Be aware, there is not a standard wiring for DIN connectors and the wiring can widely vary between devices and applications. Please consult any wiring information you have available to determine which conductors should be wired to each pin. After you have soldered the necessary points on the connector, place the metal shell around the pins. Squeeze the strain relief tab onto the cable jacket and slide up the boot. Congratulations, you have successfully installed the 8 Pin DIN female solder connector. For all of your cable and connector needs, choose Show Me Cables.

Are you looking for a quick and easy installation or repair for your coax cable? Our Belden Snap & Seal F-Type Compression Connectors for RG59 will provide a simple solution for your wiring needs. Compression connectors are a single piece, making installation quick and easy without the need for any additional small pieces that can be hard to keep track of. For this installation you will need: A strip tool, coax cable, a compression tool, and the compression connector. Keep in mind, you will want to make sure your coax stripper, compression tool and connector match the cable that you are installing. Strip back the outer jacket and dielectric using the strip tool. The advantage of using a coax stripper is that it will strip back both the jacket and dielectric at the same time. Fold back the braided shield and insert the connector housing onto the cable jacket. Apply pressure and twist to make sure the center conductor is able to reach the end of the connector housing. Insert the connector into the compression tool and firmly squeeze in order to make termination. This will compress the connector, securing it to the cable jacket. Congratulations, you have successfully installed the F-type connector. For all of your cable and connector needs, choose Show Me Cables.

Welcome to Show Me Cables. Today we’ll be taking a look at the commonly used and often confusing DIN connectors. DIN connectors are frequently used in a variety of low voltage applications, ranging from audio and video to power, serial and data. We offer the connectors in both plastic and metal housings. Male and Female orientations. Mini DIN. And Panel mount. DIN connectors come in a variety of pin arrangements including: 3 pin, 4 pin, 5 pin, 6 pin, 7 pin, 8 pin and 13 pin. What can be confusing with DIN connectors is that the 5 pin and 8 pin connectors have slightly different configurations. Let’s take a closer look at the different styles. The 5 pin connector comes in a 270, 240, and 180 degree orientation. The 270 degree style looks like the number 5 you might see on a pair of dice. The 240 degree is formed in a U-shape. And the 180 degree is a small, half-circle. Now for the 8 pin connectors. There is a 270 and 262 degree orientation. These two can be hard to identify because they look very similar. The 270 degree is angled inward, almost making a complete circle. Where the 262 degree forms more of a U-shape and does not curve inward quite as much. There are also mini versions of the connectors ranging from 3 pin to 8 pin.. These are a smaller form factor compared to the standard DIN connectors. The two most common arrangements of mini DIN are the 6 pin and 4 pin. The 6 pin mini is used for PS/2 connectors, typically found on many older keyboards and mice. The 4 pin is used for S-video connections found on various home theater equipment. Hopefully this has cleared up any confusion on the different DIN connector types.
