Cherry G80-3000 USB Internal Connector? Like Filco?
« on: Mon, 11 July 2016, 01:41:52 »
Does anyone know the part #/pinout of the internal connector on a Cherry G80-3000 - a modern one with USB.

It's a 5-pin Molex-type connector; I was hoping that it was compatible with Filco connectors, but there's no good reason to assume that! Anyone put a custom cable on one of these boards, and if so, what's the connector and the pinout?

Any help appreciated, even a general guide to saying "what model of molex connector is sitting in front of me..."

Thanks! It's hard to go from an unscaled view, but I got my calipers today and can say it's a 1.5mm pitch connector, so smaller than a Realforce or Filco connector... gonna keep searching the catalogs!

It is either a JHS or JST connector.

Thanks! I think I've narrowed it down to a JST ZH 5 "circuit" connector. I've ordered some and a crimper :-\ we'll see how I do!

It's tiny, 1.5mm pitch (pin spacing)
