RNS315 DAB Fakra connector - need a replacement
« on: March 14, 2015, 05:09:18 pm »
Evening  :smiley:

The DAB aerial connector on the back of my RNS315 has disappeared and i'm having difficulty replacing it. I bought a new connector off eBay (http://tinyurl.com/lbm4ycf
with the intention of drilling out the connector and using the outer part but it didn't work. Basically i trashed three of them!

Where can i buy just the plastic part as i can't find one anywhere!

The RG58 is the one I ordered to replace my normal FM radio connector but I'm not sure if the DAB ones are the same though.

Sorted

Bought a Fakra Universal Male RG58 Code Z Connector connector and pulled it apart. I only need the blue and white parts.
