Does anyone know for sure who the manufacturer is, of the 2.5mm pin-pitch
box connectors on the Vestel PW15 series power supplies used in many makes
of LCD TV ( Hitachi, Toshiba, Sanyo etc) ? They are the type with a recess
cut into one side of the box, and which take a plug with a polarising bump
at each end, set the same distance apart as the recess. Large variety of
'ways' from a couple right up to 13 or more. Pins are also offset closer to
one long face of the box, than the other, so this, along with the bumps and
the recess, ensure that a plug can only be inserted into a socket, the right
way round.

There doesn't seem to be any manufacturers name or logo on them that I can
see, and although I've found some 2.5mm examples in catalogues, none that
are exactly enough the same, to be useable with existing connectors.

No particular experience of this equipment, but JST and JAE are both popular
manufacturers of connectors in Japanese equipment; maybe worth checking out
their catalogues.

Pic? Are you sure it's 2.5mm and not .100", i.e. 2.54mm?

Hi Smitty. I'm pretty sure that it's 2.5 rather than 54. I measured across a
7 pin one, and it was exactly 15mm as near as you could see. I know the odd
..04 would only make a difference of another quarter mm, but I figured that
you would see that. I'll get out the digital calipers today, and see if I
can measure it accurately. I'll try and get a couple of pics put up
somewhere as well.

Thanks Martin - I'll take a look. Do you happen to know a UK stockist ?

I got some of this connector as samples from the manufacturer, and it is the
right one. I have now identified it in the Farnell catalogue, so a good
result all round. Now if only I could get the cost of the crimp tool down
from 186 quid ...

I've had this particular tool for 20+ years that does just about
everything that I need, including the pins from the connector above. It's
marked Winchester Electronics cat. No. 107-0656. Nothing fancy, I paid
about $18 USD which translates to about 9 quid or so.

Whether it can still be found is another matter, Google didn't reveal
much. It has openings very much like Digikey AV4999-ND. $50 USD/25 quid.
Hope this helps.
