Raymarine C80 or C series plotter NMEA connector

[yotter]

I am looking for a cable connector for the Raymarine C80 plotter NMEA interface, its a 5 way connector, its slightly unusual in having 4 equi-spaced pins and one central pin. Being a bit mean Scotsman I don,t want to shell out circa £40 for the one available online, does anyone know if farnell/CPC or RS do anything compatible, I would have to solder the connections but happy with that. Its not for the boat but for home, so does not have to be to marine standard.

I had a similar problem and managed to modify a similar plug to suit. write up here :-

Many thanks for the pointer, on the Farnell site now

My solution was somewhat more radical as the previous owners bodge had broken a pin. I soldered a flylead onto the terminals on the circuit board and took this cable out through a hole drilled in in the casing.

ithet,
Many thanks for the suggestion, I shall investigate the more elegant solution first before resorting to my poor soldering skills:-(
