Author Topic: Dolby CP200 power connector Mark Baldock Film Handler Posts: 4 From: Essex, England Registered: Oct 2001 posted 12-17-2003 04:05 PM                     We have just acquired a Dolby CP200 at the Grove Cinema Society to replace our aging (and dying) CP50. Unfortunately, the DC cable from the PS1-B power supply to the processor (connector JM1) is damaged too close to the female plug end to be easy to splice. Does anyone know what that 9-way, polarized connector type is called, who makes it and whether it is still readily available from electronic suppliers?  |  IP: Logged Darren Briggs Master Film Handler Posts: 371 From: York, UK Registered: Dec 2001 posted 12-17-2003 04:52 PM                        I would suggest you look in an RS electronic's catalogue, or contact Peter Hall at Future Projections, im sure he will be able to help supply one or source one.

The 9-pin version was used for the Power and MPU interconnect. For the 9-pin connector, relivent AMP numbers are 1-640511-0 and 1-640521-0 (depending on gender) The 25-pin MR was used for most of the other connectors (like JM-23, JM-25). You can get them from your favorite AMP dealer (don't forget to get the extracition tool). I think the pins are crimp only (no solder versions) but if you have a crimper for Molex power connectos it should work well enough (also the crimper for the AMP CPC connector can work well enough). The proper crimper is over $100 and closer to $200. Steve  |  IP: Logged
