Audison DRC Cable. Connector type

[IndyT6]

evening all, looking for a bit of helping and trying to save a few quid.

The connector that’s plugs into my Digital Remote Control has been damaged by the front seat sleeper! Little cherub!

Rather than buy a new cable - does anyone know what type of connector Addison use (at the DRC end) and the terminations on the cables that plug into this connector?

Right now I’m looking at a replacement cable at £50 for a part that should cost less than 50p !!

Which remote?

Pictures may help?

Cheers Roadtripper…
Attached is a pic of the DRC and the cable.

I’ll try to get a better pic of the connector - but hopefully that’s familiar to someone.

Here’s some better pics. The cables are crumpets to metal connectors, which then slide into the plastic.

Are the pins on the remote OK if that ends been damaged?

Looks like standard header pitch pins, if you're up for soldering stuff you can probably get it going again just using some prototyping jumpers

If I'm right what you are looking for is a "Dupont connector" - normally you buy them as a kit of shells of varying pin numbers and pins that you crimp on. Not expensive directly but you do need to buy a crimper, so for a repair you might just want to find a similar lead and solder and heat shrink to your damaged one.

To really double check if you have a set of digital calipers the pins should be at a 2.54mm pitch

This is so helpful! thank you, really appreciate you taking the time to reply. Agreed - looks a lot like the dupont connectors after a quick google search.

Ebay Dupont Lead

£50 for the audison lead and all the hassle of re-running it. £4 including delivery for this. Thank you!

I think yours is a actually a 7 way with a blocking insert to key it. Individual ones or a 6 way should work, just take care to connect the correct way around.

Hope it works, £4 is worth grabbing and offering up Vs £50

Out of curiosity did you get anywhere with this or still a work in progress?

Cheers - I bought the bits on ebay...they don't arrive for a while. I'll let you know how I get on.
