[ICOM] Antenna Tuner Connectors

[Larry Hinton]

Yea…. The only issue is the pins may not fit in the connector being slightly oversize or you may not get them out again if you have to make a change for some reason.

I think Amphenol has the correct pins, but I do not remember the style name. You can order from various electronics suppliers like Mouser or Digikey

"The ICOM connector pins are not Molex. They are close in size but that 
is a far as it goes. If memory serves me, and that is not always the 
case these days, Molex is 0.092 inches and the ICOM are 0.086 or 0.089 
inches."

If that's the case, find a screw, wire, or tool slightly smaller than 
the Icom pin size, and re-roll the female portion so it's smaller.

I had nothing but trouble with these types of connectors, so I've 
replaced them with a fiberglass plate, stainless screws, and locking 
hardware, basically bolting the wires to the back of the equipment.
