So I'm designing a product that uses an male ipod dock connector, to (shockingly, I know), connect to an ipod
As these are legacy devices but are gaining back popularity from flashmods, etc, the docking connectors are difficult to find.
I bought some breakout boards for prototyping from
https://elabbay.myshopify.com/products/apple-30m-bo-v1ac-apple-30-pin-male-plug-breakout-board-compact-typeBut I contacted them and they seem to have the same issue as I do.
The connector shown here is all I need:
Does anyone know where I'd be able to source these connectors from? Would mouser/digikey/arrow have them? What on earth do I search to find this elusive connector?They've got to be somewhere... I'd buy USB cables and rip the connector out but they're moulded to not have the pins I need...
Apologies if this post comes off as a fetch quest, but I genuinely don't know what to search for to track these things down...
