Author Topic: Source for ORC connectors Robert Throop Master Film Handler Posts: 412 From: Vernon, NY USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-18-2003 01:07 PM                     Does anyone know of a source for the female 14 pin connectors that went from the rectifier to the lamphouse in the model 1600? The Amphenol # is 32-9s and it's listed as obsolete on their website.

I got the correct Part# off the diagram. It's MS3106A32-9S. I'll call them Monday.  |  IP: Logged Richard Fowler Film God Posts: 2392 From: Ft.

MS plugs and connectors are built up from parts ( shells, inserts, strain relief et cetera ); you should be able to source it out by finding the product code on the insert. In Miami we have HS electronics carrying these as OEM parts.1665 W 33rd Place, Hialeah, Florida 305-821-5802. MS connectors are expensive if you buy from a Electronics companies such as Newark / Allied and others....generally from aviation electronics distributors, they tend to be about 1/2 the price than if you would buy from others.

They tend to blow and the rectifier goes chugging right along, wide open (not that that's all that wide). * Hopefully at least a few of you will get the reference.  |  IP: Logged John Walsh Film God Posts: 2490 From: Connecticut, USA, Earth, Milky Way Registered: Oct 1999 posted 01-18-2003 05:33 PM                     Remember the little Poly Paks dude?  |  IP: Logged Justin West Master Film Handler Posts: 271 From: Peoria, IL, USA Registered: Jul 2001 posted 01-18-2003 06:27 PM                     Steve referenced, "the great Poly Paks* in the sky?" If you're referring to the electronics surplus place that I used to order miscellaneous x-istors, resistors, solar cells, etc., back in the late '70s...wow, I had not heard that name in over 20 years!!! Lots of stuff a kid in high school could mess with.  |  IP: Logged
