DIN connectors photos do not match actual item

I ordered 1195-1149-ND 96 Position Din Connector Header, Male Pins Through Hole, Right Angle and 1195-8043-ND 96 Position Din Connector Receptacle, Female Sockets Through Hole, Right Angle connectors that show 3 rows of pins in the photos and state 96 positions. They arrived with no center row of connections so are actually 64 position connectors.

How do I find the correct parts? The data sheets are not helpful.

Hi bunge.pjp,

I know these can be a little tricky. There are a few things we offer which might help the process.

First, while searching connectors, as you have discovered, some connectors don’t populate all positions with a contact. We do try to point this out in the parametric search under the “Number of Positions Loaded” heading. Here’s where to look:

As shown there, there are options for fewer positions loaded and for “All” positions loaded. Select and filter for “All” to get rid of those without all loaded.

So, for the “All” positions loaded options, this would be what’s left from Harting for the 96 pin right angle through hole headers with male pins.

Additionally, for some products we have a “360°” view which is typically a series of images taken of the actual part, which might help as well. See below:

Which, in the case of the 1195-1149-ND you ordered, if you click on the “360°” view it shows the following, which would have helped you to see that the middle row of contacts is missing:

Finally, before ordering a part, it’s highly recommended that one looks at all of the available documentation associated with the part. There’s generally a “datasheet” which may or may not give much in the way of diagrams and dimensions – this varies significantly from vendor to vendor. But often there are additional documents, either linked from within the datasheet or found further down the “Documents and Media” section. There’s often a separate pdf drawing and CAD models available which can help in verifying that the part is what you expect it to be.

I hope this helps.

Thanks, that was useful. I had no idea what the 360 was or I would have seen I had the wrong part.
I think I found suitable parts but are DIN 41612, Eurocard, 8609 Series compatible and will they mate? They look like they might.
AI says they are all DIN 41612 compliant.

Hello,
Do you have the part numbers of the parts you think are suitable, we can take a look at them for you and verify if they will mate or not since compatible and compliant are not the same thing.

I only need two male and two female connectors to start and make sure my PCB works before ordering more boards.

I think the ones in red are the best choice partly based on the quantity in stock (popularity).

I have resolved that 8609 series, Eurocard, and DIN 41612 are all compatible. Thanks for the help.

5650473-5-ND Eurocard male $8.86 1889 in stock

A1254-ND Eurocard male $8.74 551 in stock

Are they 3 row 96 pin/socket?

Are these suitable?

Thanks for the information, both part numbers you list are 96 position with all positions loaded. As far as mating connectors go I would use the listed mates from the same manufacturer. Mates for part 609-2116-ND are listed here or if you want to use part 5650472-5-ND the mates to this connector are listed here. Mating connectors typically can be found by scrolling down on the web page, let’s use part 5650473-5-ND. Open this link and scroll down and you will see these listed mates which is the fastest and easiest way to find proper mating connectors.

Thank you. Yes, I have found mating connectors before this way but in this case I did not however I gave up too soon after just one connector.
These DIN connectors are confusing.
I should be OK with what you sent. Thanks..

Problem:

The mating connectors are not all right angle and what is the difference between a type C and a type R. Also, since I can’t find them through the filters I am getting “press fit” whatever that is.

I phoned Amphenol and they hung up on me twice. I won’t buy theirs.

Does it matter if the male and female are not the same manufacturer? I think the connectors they have to mate with were made for HP in 1988, manufacturer not specified.

I thought DIN 41612, Eurocard, and 8609 Series would all mate with each other.

Mating connectors did not work. I was having to use the data sheet and it was ruling out most.

I went back to using the filters and chose these

609-2116-ND 8609 series female

Manufacturer Product Number 86093968813755V1LF

609-6122-ND 8609 series male

Manufacturer Product Number 86093967113745ELF

I double checked them in the data sheet. Not easy with those long numbers.

I double checked your results on Amphenol-CS’s website, they list the official associated mates to both those connectors. I do not think your two example connectors are the best choice for mates based on what they’re indicating as associated product. If you notice the last three digits of the part numbers for both male/female match up, 745 and 755.

They list the mates for 86093967113745ELF as follows:

86093968114745V1LF

86093968813745V1LF

They list the mates for 86093968813755V1LF as:

86093967814755ELF

86093967814755E1LF

86093967113755E1LF

86093967113755ELF

Does it really matter? One has to mate with a PCB from an HP instrument from 1988 and the other to the motherboard of that instrument. As long as they are both 96 loaded positions, right angle, and solder connections they will work. Some of the above are not right angle. Amphenol assumes all applications are for a motherboard with straight pins and a PCB to plug into it with right angle pins. My application is for an extender with right angle at top and bottom.

I ordered these:

609-6122-ND male

86093967113745ELF

86093968813745V1LF-ND female

86093968813745V1LF
