| Subject: | Molex connector needed for my Insight GEM 602 |
I need to buy the Molex connector for my Insight GEM 602. It is a 15/30 pin edge
connector with a 0.100" pitch between contacts. It also has a notch in the card
to prevent the connector being installed backwards. Any idea what the part
number I need is and where I could buy it? There is no info regarding this in
the documentation I received with the unit. It also appears that this series
[4338 ??] of connector has been deemed obsolete by Molex.

PS I tried to attach a photo of the rear of the unit, but this forum does not allow
jpg attachments.

Check out the Molex data page on my website:
https://tinyurl.com/7t6jjsc
Data there includes descriptions and photos
of the 4338 series connectors and pins. Yeah,
been out of production for a long time.
Over the years I've had some luck finding
connectors at surplus electronics shops
but those opportunities are growing really
skinny too.
I do have a few pieces of work-around left
over from the last few times I had your
problem. You'll see some pictures on the website
where a builder cut two larger connectors and
spliced them together with JB Weld to achieve
the proper pin-count.
Sorry, not gold plated. Not crimped either . . . ran
out of those pins about 15 years ago. However,
I've used this technique at least twice to get
one of these vintage radios up and running. You're
welcome to a 1-1/2 12-pin connectors (pictured)
to take a whack at this fix. Keeping half of
a connector on hand will allow me to offer this
fix at least one more time.

Just be wary of the term 'SVLA equivalent' . . . I
went toe-to-toe with major players in the lithium
market a couple decades ago. When the battery is
your sole energy source for comfortable termination
of flight there is no SLVA equivalent. Capacity is
capacity is capacity . . .
That capacity should be defined by design goals
and periodically TESTED to insure that such
goals are maintained.

Ebay is always worth a look.
Molex edge connector
<https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2060353.m570.l1313&_nkw=molex+edge+connector&_sacat=0>
My permanent solution, for experimental applications, is a soldering
iron, some milspec wire, and a subD connector.

Bob,
Thanks for the ideas and the web link. Friday morning I was searching and
came across these. Correct number of terminals, but no indication as to pit
ch. I need 0.100" [aka 2.54mm] Any comments regarding what I've found?
https://twistywristarcade.com/edge-connectors/772-15-30-pin-edge-connector-
sec.html
https://www.mikesarcade.com/cgi-bin/store.pl?sku=CECM30
I found a few more, but they were all .156" pitch.

Bob,
Thank you for your kind offer. However, I don't think it will work. The co
nnectors you show have a 3.96mm [.156"] pitch. My GEM 602 needs 2.54mm [.10
0"] pitch connector.
