Where to find 8-pin DIN 41524 plugs (for C64 video output)
John
Anyone know someone who can supply these?
Local electronics suppliers Jaycar and DS only have 41526 DINs.

Standard 180 degree five pin din plugs will work. I made lots of
video cables for members of my Commodore club, about 20 years ago. Close
to 100, because I only have a couple left from the case of 100.

You don't need 8 pin DIN, just use a 5 pin instead. In any case, I'm pretty
certain I bought some 8 pin DIN plugs from Jaycar just recently...

There are two types of 8 pin din plugs. The wrong one will break the
video output connector on the C64 & 128 computer. They used the one the
did so the power supply couldn't be plugged into the video connector.
The proper 8 pin din has the outer pins in a 'u' shape, while the wrong
is in a broken circle. The one on that page looks to be the wrong type.

Should you have the wrong plug, just clip the 2 NC (no connection)
pins. At least that's what Raymond Carlsen suggests.
Clocky
That's what I did, or use a 5 pin plug - no probs.

Agreed. Quote from http://sta.c64.org/legend.html#din8plug :
---
This is a DIN41524 type ("262-degree") plug where pins 7 and 8 are
"out of circle". On the more common DIN45326 type ("270-degree") plug,
the seven outer pins form a circle, which is mechanically
incompatible.

I hope this helps the original poster with finding the proper plugs.

Not if you want to get s-video.
And there are two types of 8 Pin din plugs, 41524 and 41526. The C64 takes
41524 (240 degree).

No, wait, I'm wrong. the extra pins aren't needed.
John
No, wait again, I'm right and wrong.

I need the central pin to get s-video, so I need at least 6 pins, but I can
remove the extra pins on the 'wrong' 8 pin dins.
John
Arrrg. I wanted these for a megadrive RGB cable as well, which does use the
extra pins.

I feel like a shill for NKC store. Check them.
salaam,

To e-mail me, add the character zero to "dowcom". i.e.:
dowcom(zero)(at)webtv(dot)net.
The fact that 'conventional wisdom' is indeed 'conventional',
does not, in any way, imply that it is wise.

Jeez, that brings back memories! Last time I needed to connect to a C64,
I soldered a cable direct to the PCB.

It is for this very reason that my 128 tower has RCA jacks on the back for
S-Video and audio, just so I can use normal A/V cables for a change (I seem
to have a habit of losing monitor cables).
I've had enough of this hassle of trying to find some weird connector. ;)

That's them. They declare that one of the plugs listed is a '262
degree'.

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately I'm leery about paying $13.00 postage for
a $2 part.
Clocky
$13 postage can't be right, I paid less then that for shipping 25 EPROMS
from the US to AU.

That is how ebay works, Purchase price is their profit and "Postage"
covers all their cost.
Clocky

RS list 8 pin DIN connectors.
Only a few $ for 5, might be worth a phone call or visit to see if they have
what you want. I've bought some oddball bits and pieces from them before.

I can't blame you. Is that what NKC charges?
John
That's the problem. There are two kinds of 8 pin DIN connectors. DS has the
wrong sort.
Clocky
The link is for RS electronics and has nothing to do with DSE/Radio
Shack/Tandy.
John
Quite right... they do mention they have an 8 pin connector. I'm trying to
find out what sort.
Chances are good it's the wrong type though.

Let us know what you find out, more people are bound to be interested.
Good luck!

Just got an email back, sadly, no they don't.

Hello,
Please see a photo of the 8 pin plug DIN 41524 with 262° like Joe
pointed out well.
