Default connectors for DAB car radio

https://www.dropbox.com/s/w77ftih1gt..._0264.JPG?dl=0

The new radio (Pioneer) had a little gold coloured socket for the DAB
aerial, but the existing DAB aerial has a plug that's incompatible. Does
anyone know what these connectors are called, and where I might buy
either a plug to fit the radio or an an adapter that will go from the
existing plug to the radio socket.

The one on the radio is an SMB

The one one the cable is an FME

EBay is where I go, Ive just checked plenty there.

The aerial wire looks to have an FME connector on the end.
The photo of the radio isn't enough to see what sort of connector that
is. Does the list of specs in the radio manual tell you what it is called?

Once you know that, you just need to google FME to [whatever] converter
and you should be able to mate one up to the other.

Microdot connectors used on accelerometers and microphones are very

yes I did most home dab RXs have female SMA but pioneer and other jap
car equipment manufacturers have male SMA.....I sent for a splitter
cable and was annoyed when it arrived with female SMA then I found out
most car units have a male socket....so I was happy

F connectors, the cheap ones, use coax with a single solid centre
conductor. Single solid conductors are deprecated in mobile applications.

Why's that, Jim? They are also the standard connector for cable TV
equipment (and have been from long before we ever had satellite). I
believe that they first became used on TV sets in the USA when they went
away from aerials with 300 ohm twin feeder. They are pretty good (and
very cheap) connectors.

Their great point is that they avoid the unsoldered Belling Lee connector.

If the level of vibration in your car is sufficient to snap coax cable,
maybe it's about time to think about getting a new one!

Tiny, specialised connectors make sense when you're using small-diameter
cable. F-connectors are ideal for situations where the inner conductor
is the pin of the male - and you obviously can't do this with miniature
cable. If you ARE using miniature cable, you'll need to use a different
type of F-connector (probably more expensive) - one which has its own
pin (and, of course, the cable can be multistrand).

I've actually got some jumpers using miniature cable (RG-179?) and
F-connectors. You have to solder the inner into the pin, and crimp* the
outer.
*If the dielectric is high-temperature, you can also solder the
folded-back outer braid.

Solid core cable isn't allowed on new-build boats for the same reason

The new radio (Pioneer) had a little gold coloured socket for the DAB
aerial, but the existing DAB aerial has a plug that's incompatible.
Does
anyone know what these connectors are called, and where I might buy
either a plug to fit the radio or an an adapter that will go from the
existing plug to the radio socket.

Help
pain in the arse pioneer have a male socket and not female like other
radios


You really didnt think about that post, did you.

;-)



yes I did most home dab RXs have female SMA but pioneer and other jap
car equipment manufacturers have male SMA.....I sent for a splitter
cable and was annoyed when it arrived with female SMA then I found out
most car units have a male socket....so I was happy


My Onkyo CR515DAB mini hifi had a male belling lee? FM socket which
was a nuisance when I first bought it and tried to set it up at 7PM
one evening.
