Hi all,
probably a stupid one, but we have so much fun here discussing the
right nomenclature of connectors ;-)
I'm looking for the right jack/receptacle for a lk201 keyboard for an
keyboard adapter.
so, is this a "RJ11 6p4c"?
No, it looks like a 4p4c to me. The first digit gives the number of
'positions' (the maximum number of contacts there could be), the second
gives the number of contacts actually fitted.
It's not an RJ-anything (just as the 10baseT ethenet conenctor is not an
RJ45, it's an 8p8c, nothing more). RJ11 (or whatever) implies a
particular set of ocnnections for telephone wiring. This can never be
right for a keyboard.
