Barreller Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Does anyone know where I can obtain an 8 pin DIN female/female gender changer? I need to extend an analogue dimmer control lead so need a female to male lead. I have the leads but an adapter would give me flexibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart91 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Back in my (dim and distant) analogue lighting days I bought some male-to-female DIN leads from VDC. They appear to still sell the male to male and would doubtless make up male to female (or even a female to female adaptor) as a special order. You could buy the connectors and build your own coupler, but it is a relatively fiddly soldering job. Another possibility is asking lighting companies local to you if they have anything kicking around in their scrap pile... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandall Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Back in the day I made my female-female couplers up with pairs of back-to-back 8-pin panel sockets, using longish machine screws to hold them together (& nuts or tubing for spacing) & some black lx tape or heatshrink to cover the wires. Alternatively you could use a small plastic box. Either way is much easier & stronger than making up cables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
