Identify this connector?

Post by Belix »

Hi folks
I need to get a new adapter as one for my cordless phone has blown. unfortunately, the damn this has a strange power connector as below which I need to either cut of and patch onto the end of the replacement adapter's cord which is a bit messy especially if you use electrical tape.
I prefer to recrimp it if possible, but where to get another connector?

As you can hopefully see: a standard RJ11 telephone plug (or RJ 12 if you want to get technical about the 6 pins), but with the clip offset to one side...

Thanks Nuke so it's a "RJ12 (6P6C-OST)"
Now to find such a thing locally...
Of course I doubt it will fit in a standard crimping tool anyway...

Belix, those are factory crimped. This is according to our onsite Telekoms guy.
It is disguised as a safety feature, but doubling up as a money-making feature.
You should be able to buy the loose RJ, but the crimping will be an issue if you want to do it properly.
You can, however, use the backstreet electronic mechanic method with a sharpnose plier, Zippo lighter and KY jelly.

Sharpnose to do the actual job.
Zippo lighter to burn the RJ in frustration.
KY to take the RJ back to the supplier and push up where the sun don't shine.
