What type of plug(s) are these

[Pladdatoo]

The attached photo is the back of an MLR FX413 GPS which I would like to use as a benchtest for some NMEA work I am doing. However, I am short of the power and data cables.

I have posted in the WANTED section to see if anybody has one, but also wondered whether these could be made up and if so what type of plugs were /are required.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Pladda

The one on the left looks like any you'd see on the back of a satellite receiver

They have excellent reference pics.

OK. I believe the left one to be a TNC connector- That was easy...................

Though not sure about the right hand one at this point..........

It looks like it may be a NATO style connector Bulgin do make then but probably won't have details on their site.

The multi-pin one looks very much like an EN3 type connector, IP68 moisture resistant. I've got various types in RS bags, but not matching that number of pins.

You could ask the manufacturer. Failing that, get some individual round pin sockets that fit, perhaps these:

If you want to make it more robust, spray with silicone grease, fit the wired pins, fill cavity with hot melt glue.

Try this page on the Bulgin site

it has drawings and sizes of various styles of connector. It looks like a Bulgin connector to me too.

You could try emailing them the picture and ask for their advice.

I have a spare somewhere. I will let you know if I find it.

I found it, it was in the desk next to my computer. At the end of this week the boat comes out so I will remove the MLR FX413 and see if it powers it up.

The only problem is I don't want to sell it as the NMEA from MLR FX413 powers all my instruments, and a spare cable is handy.
However I would be happy to lend it to you for the winter.

As an aside my old MLR FX413 went on the blink I resigned myself to getting a new GPS and running a new cable.
Then I bought a house last year from a hoarder, who I knew, (he was a yacht club member). During the 6 weeks of helping him move out all his stuff I found a nearly new MLR FX413. I asked him if I could have it. He gave it to me for my 6 weeks of help.
