Welcome to Show Me Cables. Today we’ll be taking a look at the commonly used and often confusing DIN connectors. This is the 7 Pin DIN Female solder connector. To install, you will need the following items: low voltage cable, wire strippers, a small screwdriver, 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. Trim off any additional conductors, if needed. 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 7 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 soldering, snap in the metal tab to attach the strain relief. Squeeze the strain relief tab onto the cable jacket and slide up the boot. Then, screw the connector together. Congratulations, you have successfully installed the 7 Pin DIN Female solder connector.
