Dear all time-nuts list members,

I am looking without any success for some Molex plugs (52660-2651) to
connect to my X72 time standard.
Molex told me that these connectors are obolete since 2010.
I made some recherches at the Molex competitors but all told me that
they do not have 1mm pitch connectors in
their program.
Is there anybody who can help me getting some of these connectors?

That would be very kind and you will set me happy again...

Best Regards

Chris

From the drawing and from the pictures this looks like a variant

of the mini-centronics, or more precisely mini/micro D-ribbon connectors.

They have lost quite a bit of popularity with the demise of SCSI,
but there should be still some manufacturers building them.
I am not sure though, how many ever had the 1mm pitch one.

Hello Attila,

I found one manufacturer which has nearly similar connectors in his
program: htk-jp.com
They have SDR and HDR connectors on stock but all of them do have 0.8 mm
pitch. The
original Molex 52660-2651 connector has 1.0 mm pitch so that would not
fit...
