Need Fanuc Connectors for Upgrade

[Bruce Griffing]

I have collected several Fanuc parts for the monitor and 4th axis upgrade I am planning for my Kitamura Mycenter 1. The machine has a Fanuc 0MC control. I have most of the cable connectors, but I am missing two that I have not been able to find. I do realize that I can go to the "CNC parts providers", and I will as a last resort. But I am initially trying to find these parts from a commercial source like Digikey or Mouser. To date I have had not luck with that. I was hoping that someone on the board has already done that.

First is the power connector for the 9" monochrome monitor presently on the machine.




I need the female connector of the pair shown above. The connector has a 5mm pitch - I could use the connector from a scrapped monitor if I could find one. Let me know if you have one.

The second connector is a power jumper connector for the servo amplifiers.



The power jumper appears to have 3.96mm pitch. I would appreciate any help or suggestions.

BTW, I found several of the other connectors I need surplus from ESI (electronic surplus inc). If interested search their site for Fanuc and/or Honda.

CABLE - J38 - (FPN: A02B-0120-K820)

The bottom one is (K3 & K7)

Mystic-
The connector you suggest is a 5.08mm pitch connector. When I measure mine, centerline to centerline across two spacings, I get 8mm. So I assumed the connector was 3.96mm since that is close to 4mm. Am I missing something? Otherwise the connectors you suggest seem to be right on. The keying diagram from Amp also has one three terminal shell with the correct key. I cannot find a similar "dynamic" connector with the correct(?) pitch. Suggestions?

I got the original information from an alpha i manual

This is the correct information from the alpha manual
It states the receptacle housing is actually

Receptacle Housing = 1-178288-3

the 250V rated plugs are 3.81mm pitch

Thanks a lot. Let me know if you know someone with a dead monitor. That first connector looks pretty rare - my chances for it are probably better with a scavenge. I could put a different connector on the supply, but I don't want to turn the machine into an orphan if I can avoid it.

I would be very surprised if this plug was unobtanium they still make replacement crts and alternative LCDs
