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"?
I believe (though I could be wrong) that it is a 6P4C, but not
It looks narrower than a 6p housing to me... I would check. If yoy are in
the States, the common telephone plug is a 6p2c or 6p4c. If it looks
narrower than that, it's a 4p4c.
If you're trying to buy the plugs, though, you
probably want
to search for RJ11 because that's what most stores sell them
as (just like you want to search for "DB9" serial plugs when
you really want DE9 plugs).
Over here they are often listed as 'FCC68' connectors. I am not sure what
FCC regualtions part 68 actually specifies, but I assume that's where the
name comes from.
