[1000mp] Which 8 Pin DIN plug?

[John Becker]

This discussion actually began on the Tower Talk list a couple of weeks 
ago when K9YC reported having bought some DIN connectors from the RF 
Connection only to find that they wouldn't take solder. The general 
consensus was that the connectors he bought were probably "RoHS 
compliant", which is another problem.

As for the FT-1000 band data plug, the majority of responders believe it 
is the less-common 262 degree variety. One dissenting opinion came from 
Universal Radio, which sells both types. They think Yaesu uses the 270 
degree. I asked them to double-check this and have not heard back from 
them yet. I called Yaesu yesterday, and they were unable to tell me 
which style they use, although they may get back to me later with 
additional information. The Yaesu part number for the correct plug is 
P0090651, and they sell it for $2.38 plus "$5 to $10" for shipping. One 
of these plugs is included with the FT-2000 and the FT-9000, but wasn't 
included with the FT-1000.

 From the FT-1000 service manual, the band data connector on the radio 
has a manufacturer's part number TCS5073-19-4151. I was unable to locate 
a data sheet for the TCS5073-19-4151 online. This is a Hosiden part 
number. I did find a DIN connector brochure on the Hosiden website at:  
http://www.hosiden.co.jp/web/english/web/products/pdf/e_c03_din.pdf . 
This brochure includes the TCS5073 series of connectors, but not this 
specific part number. It also includes drawings of the two different 8 
pin styles, showing how they differ.
