MIFH1 Connector Identification

techrocket9
techrocket9 over 5 years ago

I have a Mitsubishi heat pump which was installed with the worst wireless thermostat I've ever used -- a MRCH1.

 

Fortunately, it turns out that the pump is controlled via UART. The wire protocol has already been reversed, but to do this cleanly I want to put my replacement controller (A Pi 0 W) where the existing wireless control board is, and use the existing cable run to that location.

 

This is the cable in question (another link). I know that the red connector on the heat pump end is a CN105, but I don't know what the black connector is on the other end. This black connector is what I have access to in the location I want to install the new controller.

 

I'm making this post in hopes that someone here has seen the black connector before and can identify it. I need to purchase/make a female connector for it so I can wire it up to my Pi.

 

I've uploaded an album with pictures of the connector (both the male and female ends) here.

Any help you can provide to identify the connector is appreciated.

Cheers,

 

-- Techrocket9

Edit: My calipers measure the distance between the center of the pins as 2.55mm. The external width of the female connector is 16.32mm, and the depth (not counting the wire coming out the back of it) is 13.53mm. The external width of the male connector is 12.66mm,  and its minimum external height is 2.54mm.

    Hi Matthew, You can insert images using the tools in the editor, see here for detail: How to Ask Questions using the Create Discussion tool The connector looks like a standard 2.54mm (0.1") pitch SIL header…

    It does look quite similar to an arduino socket! I wonder if the existing controller is arduino based... Cheers!

    Hi Matthew,

     

    You can insert images using the tools in the editor, see here for detail:

    How to Ask Questions using the Create Discussion tool

     

    The connector looks like a standard 2.54mm (0.1") pitch SIL header socket.

    They are available from ebay/amazon, just search for 'jumper socket arduino' or similar, and you'll see them. Often they come as single-wire sockets, they can be placed together to fit a 5-way connector for instance. They are generic, there's different manufacturers, and they all fit.

     

    If you want the socket and crimp inserts, there is a blog post here with order codes for the crimp inserts:

    Making 0.1" Jumper Cables - Crimp Tools Tested

    If you don't have the crimp tool, you can solder.

    For the shell, you can use a 5-way receptacle, it is 5-way although the photo shows it as 2-way.

    It actually ended up being this particular molex connector.
