Hey all,
I've had a bit of a puzzler here at work for a few days, so I'd like to ask you all for some help: I've been working on an FTIR that the users are reporting noise problems with. When I removed the detector and preamp assembly, a rather dodgy bit of soldering caught my eye on a particular connector.
What it was/is is a 3mm(o/d) SMB connector on RG174, going into a 90 degree receptical on the PCB. HOWEVER, it's not one of the standard 0.1, 5-pin jobs that Farnell et-al have... It was a two pin connector, 5mm centre-to-centre, with 0.8mm diameter leads. Unfortunately, I made a bit of a hash of getting it off the board and mangled it quite badly.
I was just hoping that someone out there might have run across a similar connector. If I happen across something similar, I'll post it up.
Cheers,
Peter
