Mini Gizmo amp jack

[jdzialak]

Does anyone know where I can get a jack to mount on the side of my Trailer Trash board that will fit the Mini Amp Gizmo cable 8 pin DIN? I have my gizmo mounted underneath the board, and wanted to panel mount the jack to the side of the board, to just plug in there.

Thanks,

Joe

Switchcraft 62GB8FX is the part you want. It's a chassis mount female jack.

One place you can get them from is Mouser Electronics:

Great, THANK YOU!!

The part came in already.
Any tips on the color code/pinout?
I'll be cutting the end off of the Gizmo cable that was included for my XTC footswitch jack and attaching it to this jack.

Thanks

Attached is the color coding we use for the XTC101 cable.

Thanks!

I'm thinking I have to reverse the gizmo end code, since I'm not soldering to a PLUG, but rather a JACK, which is receiving..
No?

You're right, the actual pin positions are mirrored on the female connector. These pins are swapped: 1 and 3, 4 and 5 and 6 and 7. The numbering on the connector takes this into account - if you follow the numbering on the connector and the diagram (instead of the actual pin locations), it'll work out okay.
