Identifying an RCA Jack part number
« on: May 20, 2013, 08:07:06 pm »
Hi,
This is my first post here! Hello to everyone! :)
I own a DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 SLI-DR Expert motherboard.
Recently, I messed around with the computer's audio cable, and accidentally broke the mobo's SPDIF RCA jack.
I have steady hands and a new iron (YIHUA 995D+), so I'd like to go ahead and repair this by myself.
I was looking for a replacement RCA jack, but to no avail. I could not find the exact connector as the mobo's.
Please help me find a replacement part number to purchase this online.




(Ignore the red square, this is just a good photo of the jacks :))

BTW: I would really appreciate some tips regarding the working process of dis-assembling this buddy. Maybe a link to a recommended video tutorial regarding the subject? :)
Thanks in advance!

Jacks just like that are hard to find,
Just might be one of a kind.
Used in this unit and not another,
You'll work hard to find it, brother!

From the picture you show,
I'd really like to know,
Why you think the RCA ijack is jacked,
Looks ok from the back!

I see behind the jack, you know,
Looks like a PC trace did blow,
Solder across  the partings of copper,
And everything again will be proper.

Do you know how long it took me to realize why your comment had a weird feel to it?

It took way too long.
I had to read it three times.
This ain't real haiku.

Very funny, poetry.

Anyway assuming nothing bad happened under the support for the RCA's you should clean it up, scrape off any copper/solder residue and solder it back up to see what happens. In case you have never used it try this wire.

http://www.ebay.ca/sch/i.html?_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0&_nkw=kynar+wire&_sacat=0&_from=R40

It's available all over and cant be beat for small trace repairs (or modifications).

I use Kynar or Teflon coated wire, but in a pinch, Iwill strip a piece of  multi-stranded alligator clip  wire or AC power cord wire to harvest small wires to bridge the electrons over troubled faulters.

First of all, thanks for the comments everyone!

I think I wasn't clear enough - the pictures are not from my board, but from a hardware review site. The blown trace is not the case in my board. My RCA jack is just broken...

Any one with further info regarding the part number or replace instructions?

Thank you very much!

Looks like you want something like this. You need to measure the existing one, and make sure the pad/hole dimensions are similar.

In your picture one can see,
A SMD place is open and what's left?
Some cap or inductor, now gone forever,
A cause for your SPIF to be quite deaf.

Thanks everyone!
mikes, it seems that you have found the right one. I will indeed measure everything when I get back home to make sure it fits.
I will keep you posted!

Why would you stop, on such a roll.
Enjoy this I did, as I scroll.

Sorry for the bump, but I wanted to thank you guys for helping me out.
I have ordered the Kobiconn 161-0380 and assembled it. The audio now works perfectly! Thanks again!
