TB6560 (HY-TB3DV-M) limit switch connector?

[FozzTexx]

Just got my CNC moving about, and now I can see that having limit switches hooked up would be nice. Unfortunately the limit switch connector is some kind of funky little polarized 5 pin thing. Does anyone know what it is and where I can get the matching part?

That number does not show up, what make is it? or post a picture.

Is it sort of like a floppy power connector, or does it have thin pins in it spaced .100 apart?

Definitely not a floppy connector, the pins are closer than .100.

Your best bet is to measure the pin pitch and search the DigiKey catalogue.
They have almost every type known to man!
I would particularly at the Hirose style, they usually make miniature and micro-miniature type.
It looks similar to the DF13 1.25mm pitch?

Al,

I believe it is a 2.5mm XH connector.

But the OP said it was much closer than .1" (2.5mm)?

Al,

Not trying to be a smart a$$ however 2.54mm is .09999749

Is the user measuring the gap between the pins or the center to center dimension?

Sorry for the incomplete reply,

I have an extra one I'll mail you if you give me your address...

WW,

That is very generous, can you post a good picture of the cable?

Jeff -

don't have one at the moment...but I have the exact board you posted the link to, and it came with a cable (I fried the board, though)...

"I believe it is a 2.5mm XH connector."

I have to agree.
