[ICOM] Icom internal tuner shaft couplers

[Eric Dobrowansky]

ICOM antenna tuner shaft couplers

Icom part # 8950003200 , "UJ6-5 COUPLING"

This is the exact part that is used in many Icom radio automatic antenna tuners to couple the stepper motor shaft to the variable capacitor shaft.

5mm on the motor side, 6mm on the capacitor side. 15mm diameter, 15.5mm length.

If your tuner is slipping or not tuning properly, the couplers may have cracked due to age and stress.

These may work for other brand tuners, if they use the same size shafts. You would need to confirm prior to purchase.

Icom was getting $19.79 a piece, when they had them, a few years ago. If you needed a set, it would have cost you close $50 by the time you were done with shipping. I was able source a small quantity direct from the OEM manufacturer, and am offering sets of two (2 used in each tuner), for $21 shipped with the US.
