Exposure cable connector size?

Post by rufus748 »

I'm trying to source female to female connector for my a Revo but it appears to be a non standard size according to my local Maplins. Anybody know what it is? I'd like to run direct to a battery/gps rather than run the lights as well.
Cheers

Hi
It's an unusual size. The plug is 4mm O.D and 1.7mm I.D
I managed to get some female sockets from ebay eventually
you could join a couple up with a bit of cable, heatshrink over the top, hey presto

How are you going to convert the dyno ac output to DC input required for the battery or gps?

Same size connector as a Sony PSP FYI. I know this, coz I wanted a USB cable to charge mine and got one for a Sony PSP coz exposure ones were all out of stock at the time :wink:

Ah, I "assumed" that I could run it out of the piggy back connector into the battery pack in order to charge phone gps etc. Didn't seem to kick out enough power. I guess if I feed it direct from the hub it will be ok?

I have twisted together the wires for my lights & Biologic regulator and run them together. Means I can run them at the same time or lights off and just charging and seems to work fine. I'm using a battery as a buffer.
