Ed Denton Posted September 29, 2017 Report Posted September 29, 2017 Does anyone know of any low profile or right angle connectors that fit the Remote Audio BSD? The only ones I can find are these ones which are very long and not great in a bag. Extra point if you can give me a link or part number [emoji6]. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Glen Trew Posted September 29, 2017 Report Posted September 29, 2017 Hi Ed. I don't know of any solder-type right angle connectors of this type. However, Remote Audio does have cable assemblies using molded right angle connectors of this type (2.5mm ID, long shank). If you need some terminating to tinned leads, let me know: glen@trewaudio.com Quote

Shastapete Posted October 20, 2017 Report Posted October 20, 2017 I'm in the middle of a bag rebuild/rewire. You can get molded right angle BDS (and Zaxcom QRX) connectors with attached power cable. They are part number CARA761KS07984 from Switchcraft. They are $17 each, which stings when the regular connector is just $3.50, but I've been in a buy once cry once mood lately and I'd rather pay the premium to have exactly what I want in my bag Quote
chris_bollard Posted October 20, 2017 Report Posted October 20, 2017 One the Bay. I tend to over engineer things so after soldering I fill the case with hot glue and secure the cable exit with dual wall heat shrink. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F141615613124 Quote

I have used this connector on my custom made DC distro box for the input - can do a lot more current than the usual Switchcraft 761 kind... Quote
Shastapete Posted October 22, 2017 Report Posted October 22, 2017 The Tensility connectors are too short, they'll fit, but they'll have a lot of play as the shank needs to be 12mm long, not 7.5 Quote
Eric Toline Posted October 22, 2017 Report Posted October 22, 2017 I believe the short connectors are the only ones that fit Zaxcom gear. Quote
Derek H Posted October 22, 2017 Report Posted October 22, 2017 Eric, it’s been awhile since I’ve owned any Zaxcom wireless but I remember it was just the STA150 adapter that required the shorter 760k connector. Pretty sure the receivers all use the longer 761k bds style plug. Quote
Glen Trew Posted October 23, 2017 Report Posted October 23, 2017 Zaxcom and the BDS use the longer shank connectors. This was chosen for the BDS so that the circuit is not active until the long shank connector is fully plugged in. Remote Audio has the proper connector in a molded right angle pigtailed cable: https://www.trewaudio.com/product/remote-audio-bdscpt/ Quote

chestergwazda Posted January 7, 2020 Report Posted January 7, 2020 I purchased the Switchcraft CARA761KS07984 and it doesn't work with the Remote Audio BDS. The barrel connector is the correct size, but the threads don't work. I believe BDS plugs are designed to thread onto a jack that isn't intended to be threaded onto (the threads are for the nut only). Pretty clever, actually, since it gets the size down. (that's my theory, at least) Photos below comparing the Switchcraft cable with Remote Audio BDS cable. Seems to me that the Remote Audio connectors are the only available right-angle version. Quote
