Does anyone happen to know the manufacturer and part number for the J8 connector on the Macintosh Plus motherboard?
Thank you!
Thank you!
Mac Plus J8 part number?
- Thread starter Ron's Computer Videos
- Start date
according to an old website, the AT power connector part number is MOLEX 15-48-0106 X2
Looks like that part number suggests a 6 position header, J8 is 11 position. I don't know the original manufacturer or part number... if you don't have a parts board to snag one from, something like the Molex 0022112112 - a single-wall friction lock 11-position header - looks like it would work. 2.54mm spacing though... if 3.96mm pin spacing, then the Molex 0026604110.
I believe that I have identified two parts that might be compatible.
Would someone be kind enough to check my work?

I guess @Ron's Computer Videos never found out because I don't see a post from him in that thread. But maybe the post today by @theducks will lead Ron to the correct one. (I don't have a Plus myself, so I've never been on a search for the J8 part number.)
Here in Australia we have an electronics store called Altronics, which sells Oupin 4771 3.96mm connectors - https://www.oupiin.com/product_ii.php?c2=135 - which are compatible with the original connectors. 3.96mm is uncommon spacing, so checking the usual suspects, Molex KK 396 has a similar "wave" board side connector. I have some Molex KK harnesses on the way from digikey, and will update if I'm wrong (But I'm pretty sure I'm not)
I found the part over on Mouser two years ago.
I added the information to the thread Kai started.
I actually don’t think that’s the part though - have a look at the molex KK396 connectors, they seem to be an exact match
If you have a direct link to this "KK396" part at either Mouser or Digikey, please post it.
It would be this one - https://www.digikey.com.au/en/products/detail/molex/0026604110/193997 for the board side and this one for the wire side - https://www.digikey.com.au/en/products/detail/molex/0009503111/26471
I'll update with photos when my order arrives. I'm also getting some of these - https://www.digikey.com.au/en/products/detail/molex/2196641103/16106137 - and will move the wires across into the 11P connector
(Also, I didn't know you made that little board! That's cool!)
For the record, the part you list here is seemingly the exact same part I listed above... and it's $1.20 cheaper per unit on Mouser. So if you're buying in quantity, that might be a consideration.
