IM F7 with ESU Need to Know what plug to get

 @peteski    or anybody else

I want to add a couple of caps using this plug on the lastest run of IM F units.  They are the same size that the Atlas GP uses, only it has 6 pins instead of 4 pins.  I tried looking at Digikey, but only got confused. I'm ordering speakers that @jdcolombo referenced in the speaker thread and want to add a couple of these plugs to the order.










 Thanks
Rodney

Here you go Rod:
Digikey 455-2995-ND

I assume you know which pins are the GND and positive voltage.
. . . 42 . . .

Thanks Pete.  I think I got that figured out

@Rodney, here is the same offering but 6" instead of 12". It is a little bit cheaper while still offering a bit of extra wire if needed.

Would you mind sharing with us where you are planning on adding the KA to the unit and which pins needing to be used in order to hook one up?

  Too late, but thanks. I'll keep it book marked in case I ever need any more.

They offer multiple lengths. I figured that 12" would be good length since the cable will be cut in half to get 2 pigtail connectors.  The price difference is minuscule.
