dawson Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 My power lead to the mount was being temperamental and so I unscrewed the sleeve of the connector which plugs into the mount and the solder on the negative pole was fractured. I tried to resolder it, but I've made a right bodge of it, and now I've snapped off the bit which the negative lead connects to. What is the name / code of this male connector so I can get a new one tomorrow and just resolder it from fresh. Thanks for any replies.

+Graham Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Its just a power lead plug./ phono plug Take your dead one to Maplins or where ever you are going so you can get the correct one as they differ in size on the bore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
