Quoted from mark532011:it’s not as easy as you make it sound. Removing the connector from a housing without damaging the housing is tricky, cutting the wire, crimping a new pin receptor and getting it back in solidly is not easy.
Plus the old plastic can be brittle. Since most of the hard work is recrimping, which you're doing *anways*, I just replace everything.
Quoted from bluespin:I'm talking about removing the receptor from the old housing, cutting the receptor off the wire, attaching a new receptor to the wire, and inserting the receptor in a new Molex connector.
Uh, stupid question:
If you're going to cut off the pin ('receptor'?) from the wire, and then put a new pin onto the wire and put the new pin into a new housing, why bother removing the old pin from the housing? A small pair of snips, just snip the wire at the housing. Saves you.. a couple steps?
Quoted from mark532011:I have a similar question. On my Globetrotters, the display connectors are flaky. Does anyone know what size connectors to get for them?[quoted image]
They're .156" size. Not .100".
Does anyone know the specs of the varistor VR1 on the Stern's TA-100 (Rectifier) board? It's listed in the schematics as "V100ĦA15". I can't see nor make out what the "Ħ" is supposed to be.
Quoted from Billc479:Seaerch this string: Replacement Line Filter MOV?
I can't figure out how to copy the whole string, but your answer's there.
Are the specs the same on the 43v coil feed as the line voltage (120v)? Is why I'm asking - I got plenty for line voltage, but don't know if the specs for the one on the TA-100 is the same or not.
Quoted from Quench:It should be a "Z" which is Littelfuses standard varistor codes. See "V100ZA15P" at GreatPlains. An alternate part number you can use is "14D101K"
No.
The line voltage varistor is a higher voltage part and won't be effective across the solenoid voltage at suppressing lower voltage surges.
Ah, thank you. The 'Z' pulls up a part number on a couple sites. I didn't thin kthe same one could be used on line voltage vs the coil feed, but wanted to ask before I blew somethin' up. (Or made it possible to blow something up..)
Thanks! Few of them ordered!
