Looking for mother board PSU connector

LeCaravage · 17 November 2020, 18:24

Hi,

My Amiga is no longer booting because of a defective DIN power supply connector (the female one on Motherboard), it gives me randomly yellow, green or mid gray boot screen.
I can't find a new one at electronics store on the web. Also prices for defective A500 mother board are insanly high.
Do you know someone or a dealer who could send for a cheap price ?

The connector is probably a DS-205 or DS-215 (unsure) :

Yeah, it's a DS-215 (with the shield). They're pretty much an Amiga exclusive part, and as such, haven't been stocked by mainstream electronics suppliers for decades. Individual Computers did stock them last I heard though, worth checking them out.

Might be worth reaching out to airey36 on eBay. He's been quite happy in the past to go at an old motherboard with a hacksaw to sell various parts.

The power connector in question is that distinctive square one the Amiga computers used, right?

Isn't it possible to replace the connectors both on the lead and on the board with a more common type of plug? Or are there voltage regulations to consider?

Now waiting for my connectors and multimeter to arrive. Will try to make it myself. Sorry but I refuse to fuel speculation on (crazy prices).
