Replacement small connector for build plate

Hey,

I need to replace the small connector that attaches to the build plate. I'm looking for the right part to solder on. Does anyone know what that part might be?

Cheers

Almost! This seems to be the larger one with 5 leads whereas the one I'm looking for is the smaller one with 3.

No, the connectors discussed in that thread are the small, 3-conductor height sensing connector.

Thanks for that information Julia. One of the cables on my connector finally sheared off and the replacement cable from Zortrax is not in stock for another 2 weeks so I will have to make my own repair.

The illustration on the mouser page looks like a larger connector, but as you say, the part your referred to is the small 3 pin connector.

Assembly of the female connector is not easy - the contacts are tiny and difficult to handle. I don't bother trying to crimp them, I just solder. Trim the crimp ears before soldering so it will fit into the housing after soldering. Buy extra crimp contacts because you will lose some and destroy some.

Thanks Julia, yep I always solder crimp connector, so much easier and I ordered 12

Hi,

same problem and the link above is no longer working, can anybody help?

I need to know what the 3 pin connector is called so I can order a new one and don’t need to buy a whole new cable.

thank you
