Installing a Kionix "gyro" on my Raymarine autopilot, I have unfortunately broken the main power connector away from the pcb.

I would like to replace it with the same item but can't identify it via Google or RS chat.
It bears a logo looking like two numeral threes back to back.

Does anyone recognise that please?

Angus, Nigel?

If RS don't know then I won't. There may be an alternative plug/socket that fits the footprint as the hole pitch is probably some multiple of 0.1".

The hole pitch is 10mm and it is 2 pin. The only other marks are PA66 (which I think is the material) and LL9.5 (which could be the real pitch I guess).

It is bright orange and the "threes" could be "Es" I guess.

It is easy enough to find another but it would be nice to match the original.

Tell me more about the Kionix unit, I've been thinking for some time that it should be possible to install a modern gyro onto Raymarine gear.

Can you post a picture of the part you need?

I'm confused, why are you thanking me?

……because, inadvertently, the link I gave you for your benefit also suggested to me the connector type. If I hadn't opened the link for you, I wouldn't have checked the contents.

We could do with a few more service sheets like that - it is very detailed.

Incidentally, having connected the gyro as instructed, the A/P has not recognised it so I heed to investigate. It might need a software update and, as I am an all Mac man and MS pc is required, that will not happen soon.
 
It is a very useful resource of support material for Raymarine products - thanks! I shall be downloading all relevant material for the gear in our boat...

All mac household here too - but use VMware to run ancient copy of XP when unavoidable [Parallels and Boot Camp are other options to achieve the same]. It runs XP with the minimum of fuss.
