Could someone please help me identify this socket connector?

Former Member

There's a male and female connector with 26 pins each (2 pictures of each).

Also is there any chance there is a cable to extend the distance between the two?

    This looks similar to the old Centronics printer connector (36-pin) and the GPIB connector (24-pin) except they both have D-shaped shells.

    There is a 26-pin version available that you might be able to make work:

    DFP/MDR26 1.8m Cable (MDR26-M/M)

     

    What is the pitch of the connectors? Are there any logos or markings on the connectors? What kind of device is this for?

    The female part is a through-hole part, I can't tell from the photos if the male part is through-hole or surface mount. If you are allowed to unsolder and replace the connectors with more common parts, that may be an option.

    Good Luck.

    Thanks for the reply and help.

     

    The connectors are a perfect rectangular shape. The pitch is 2mm. I've noticed inside one of the connectors there's "B4" and "IAS" or "IRS" written (its too small). This is from a 7 year old Blaupunkt car headunit.

     

    I am using these connectors to make an extension lead for another unit. However the soldering is way too small for my skills and my big soldering tip. I have been quoted $180 AUD to have it done but that sounds ridiculous plus im sure a manufactured cable would be stronger.
