Anyone recognise this plug?

[PembrokeshirePromise]

Failed to google it.

Says D11 - plug and BD 600 on it.
Google has failed me.

I've like to buy a couple more plugs
Any pointers appreciated.

Thanks



And this is the socket (with cover on)

 

[Poignard]

It looks like a Dri-Plug connector

 

[vyv_cox]

Yes, Dri-plug

 

[Poignard]

I don't thing Dri-Plugs are manufactured anymore.

 

[PembrokeshirePromise]

Yes, Dri-plug

Thanks both - Dri-Plug it is.

Anyone know if tehy still sell them? Seems it was a Raymarine autopilot plug

Thanks - that's what I'm seeing - looks like new sockets too then -was hoping to avoid that

I’m not sure but I may have one laying around in the garage I’ll have a rummage around tomorrow and let you know. Is it the mounted socket or the plug on the lead that has failed or both?
If I find it you are welcome to it FOC.

Yes, that's what was fitted to the Autohelm A2000 I fitted to my previous boat after 1986. I remember it was a Dri-Plug and haven't seen one for years. I doubt they are still made but do seem to pop up on eBay from time to time and number of pins varies from 2-3 (BD400, BD600, etc.).

e.g. 3 PIN 10 AMP 50 VOLT DRI-PLUG Waterproof Electrical BD400 Yacht Boat Marine | eBay

I used Bulgin Buccaneer last time I needed something similar as mentioned by others.

I’ve been using these lately and have been very happy with their quality: IP67 Waterproof 2-Pin Panel Mount Connector Socket (12/24V DC, 20A)

Agree, they seem quite good. I've got one on my tillerpilot at the moment.

Ref #8Had a rummage, found a cover for a Dri-plug but no other bits do must have already given them away, but you a re probably better off replacing with current items anyway, I use the Bulgin range which can I think be bought cheaper from RSccomponents than most chandlers.

That looks very good indeed. Any idea who manufactures them?

I'm presently in the EU, so buying from 12vPlanet is a little expensive. (Also, I'd like a 5-pin one, so it can also carry tiller position feedback)

EDIT: CNlinko YM series.

 

[alahol2]

Just found them on YouTube... Shenzhen CNLinko

Woops... too late

If you check the writing again with a magnifying glass you might find it is BD500. If so, I have a couple of plugs (and sockets) you could have. PM me if interested.

 

[TREM]

Are the plugs 2 pin and still available?

 

[andsarkit]

Yes and yes. I also have some 3 pin ones.
PembrokeshirePromise didn't contact me so I assume he doesn't need them.
I think you will need a few more posts and then you can PM me with your address.
Usually for little things like this I just say put a donation in the charity of your choice.

Thanks for the quick response, I wasnt sure how recent the OP was. I will pay for postage and
I was going to suggest RNLI, but how would a Donation to the DEC for Ukraine sound.

I have just been on the phone to 12 volt Planet for suggested plug/socket for a tillerpilot. Not being an expert I asked for further advice and would report that I got a very helpful and economic set up from the chap. Impressed to tell you the truth. Will certainly use again, thanks for the share.

I think I'm going to stick with Bulgin Buccaneers because I've already got the hole(s) drilled for them, and these CNLinkos are smaller, so would require drilling and refilling.

But I do think the CNLinkos look better than the Bulgins - they appear to require only about a third of a turn of twist to secure them, and the Buglins seem more prone to misthreading.
