Small, inexpensive 6 pin connector needed
Small, inexpensive 6 pin connector needed
(OP)
We're looking for a very small, 6 position connector.
A 6 pin mini DIN is too large (about twice the size that we want.)
The female portion of a typical RJ is also too big, and the male side is a bit wanky for this application.
Ideally, we'd like something akin to the very small USB connections on digital cameras, though we need 6 pins, and not 5.
The female side will mount to the plastic case, or be PC mounted. The male side will terminate the end of a cable.
We're assuming that we will need to make this a custom job, but would prefer something off the shelf.
Also we want to keep the cost as low as possible as this is for a consumer product.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Andy

The ST series, while 10 position, is probably what we're going with.
I *really* like the MQ172 series, but it is only available in a 4 position version.
If I could find something like the MQ172 in a 6 position, I'd be really happy.
Thanks,
