Identify this connector?
« on: April 14, 2022, 03:23:03 pm »
What is this called? Looks like a pin and a blade. I don't have access to it for measurements.

Looks like the old style connector for speakers: DIN 41529  (see https://www.farnell.com/datasheets/28817.pdf).

Yes, they were mostly used by Philips on their audio equipment for speaker connections. They make very poor contact after a while.

Yep, definitely a DIN speaker connector.

Thanks all. I gather it was a crappy audio connector, but would it be suitable for an outdoor motor on a chicken coop door opener? It would rarely be plugged/unplugged. Female end would face downward and the motor would have the male pins. The motor would be fully enclosed. Vendor offered several plug types and this one looked the most weatherproof.

It wouldn't be my first choice.
OK, it's a low current application, but they're only tinned and for indoor use and will corrode.
A gold-plated RCA-jack or something like that would be more to my liking.
