Replacement Pins for Lemo-Power-Cable

[Sound]

A pin of my lemo power cable broke of. Does anyone know where to get replacement pins? (in germany?)

Its for a new tilta float rig - powering a dji rs2 gimbal from a v-mount battery via two 2-pin lemo cables.

It should be possible just to replace the pin inside the connector, right?

I'm only familiar with 5 and 4 pin lemo connectors and I might be wrong when it comes to the 2-Pin version, but I don't think that it's possible to replace a single pin. Just get a new Lemo connector instead.

you should be able to buy, if not the individual pin, then the insert the pins are part of. (i have done so from Lemo UK in the past)

 

try contacting Lemo directly

though they may have a minimum order amount.

Thanks! I will contact them.

I guess those pins should work as well:

Although 20 Euros shipment from germany to germany seems quite expensive.

If I get it right the connector should bei FSB 0B 2 Pin (rotateable) or FHG 0B (non rotateable).

Just tried to pull the broken pin out of the plastic part - it was not possible.

Maybe they sell just the plastic inner part with two pins - otherwise I will try a new connector.

They start at about 10 dollars on aliexpress.

with that kind of thing, i wouldnt guess.

if there is a part number, Lemo will be able to tell you what it is.

 

places like Mouser charge quite a big mark up on Lemo, compared to what getting direct from Lemo would cost. but you need to hit the minimum order value.
also, im not sure if anything you order from Mouser is warehoused outside the US. i think that stuff i have ordered from them in the past has shipped from the states. but its entirely possible i am wrong about this, but could explain the €20 shipping.

the last letter of the first 3 (FSB, FHG...) denotes the keying (number of notches on the outside of the connector, which need to match with what you are plugging into)

if you look on the outside of the shell, you should be able to see the part number etched into it

most power connectors i have encountered are G keying

here is what i could find of the angled B keying as an example

the FSG connectors are about 5 times more expensive than the straight connectors

Thanks! You are right, I think it’s g. I was only thinking about the size of the connector, which must be 0b, and forgot about different connector styles. Not that easy to find.

just making sure you dont make the mistake i once made.

Strange.. its nowhere printed on or inside the connector

[rich]

might not be made by Lemo then.

perhaps a copy instead.

You were absolutely right. The pins are not available separately from LEMO as they are fixed to the inner part and the cables will be soldered to them. You can get the inner parts with pins for about four euros/dollars.
