Title: WTB: 9 pin mini DIN female plug ..
Post by: leonk on July 13, 2015, 03:56:12 PM
Want to do RGB mod to a TG16, need to replace the current mini DIN port with a 9 pin one (similar to one used by Sega model 2).  I've been buying these on eBay before, but the Chinese sellers aren't as reliable as they once were (had to file paypal refunds twice now after 6 weeks of waiting!!)

Any reliable place where I can buy these? Anyone got any spares?

Depends on where you live. I usually get all my electronics stuff from Reichelt Elektronik, which often turns out cheaper than buying from Chinese eBay sellers. Reichelt's customer service and packaging is excellent, too.

Beware though they have some cost threshold you have to surpass when ordering.

Found it!

Digikey part number:  CP-2290-ND

Now, anyone got a lead on the 8 pin DIN used in Turbo Duo mod?

the ones that are the same as the 5 pin seem to be a bit hard to find.  I bought my last batch from here:
