IBM Model M 1394312 Converter DIY Question

(1/2) > >>

shananiki:
Hey there,

I just got my hands on this IBM Model M. As I am one of the few new breeds of IBM AS400 Developers I was amazed by keyboards with F13-F24.
I'm sure I can convert to USB using a RP2040 Zero or ESP32.

However I'm asking the simple question what kind of female module do I need to buy? It's not standard RJ45 is it?
I don't want to buy random stuff of Aliexpress.

zegonix:
try it with a smaller number: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Registered_jack
probably 6p6c, or 6p4c

fohat.digs:
These have been working for most of us for years.

Would a RJ45 female fit? I can just only wire the necessary lines.

I see thanks, but I'd love to use a USB C device. That guide was made before USB C was available, should work with any Atmega though.

zegonix:
Assuming, that i am right, NO.

The RJ45 is 8Pxx which is wider than the 4Pxx/6Pxx
