Removing connector

[HillJonathan]

I have a DPA 4061 with a 3pin LEMO connector on it (attaching to Senn SK2000). It has failed just below the plastic strain relief that is factory. I can't find any documentation to remove the connector and re attach it. This is normaly where it seems to fail at and I would love to be able to open them up and re attach things myself and save the down time to ship it. THX SO MUCH.

I don't understand why you need a schematic. Open the connector, take note of which conductors are soldered to which pins, desolder, discard, and replace.

I don't think the OP is neccessarily after a schematic...
The backshell of a Lemo unscrews from memory and then you should be able to just pull it all out.

If that's not what you are wanting to know, then could you please redescribe the problem and also post the Lemo part number, which should be on the connector itself...

Yes I can't figure out how to get the stupid little thing off. I will see if I can get any of it un-screwed when I get in today. If not I will post more information. Thanks

I think determining the connector type is the first step in us being able to provide any kind of help. Sennheiser body packs take an 1/8" connector, Lemo is usually the type that is found on Shure wireless. Which one is it (or is it secret answer C: none of the above)?

 

[HillJonathan]

That the connector. Its 3 pin with two aligning tabs and a red dot to help line it up. It screws down to keep in attached.

Bishop, respectfully you are wrong. The only Shure product with a Lemo on it is the UR1M. Everything else is Switchcraft TiniQ, aka TA3F connectors. REAL Sennheiser has always used Lemos, you'll find them on the 2000, 3000 and 5000 series. The TRS connector is only found on the "cheap" Sennheiser gear...

I can get my hands on a Lemo later tonight, I just can't remember all the details just now...

C! Shure uses a TA4F and TA3F connector and everything Sennheiser except the 2/3/5000 line uses the 1/8". I'm still waiting for a standard out there, even if within companies.



Prepare yourself for more frustration. The DPA attached LEMOs fail far too often.

 

[Chris15]

Lemos are a very top end connector and don't fail that often unlike TA3Fs and 1/8" plugs... That said, the proper connector for any DPA is a microdot and then the relevant adapter to the connector your transmitter wants...

That is the proper connector. There is just a fault where the cable enters the connector and I would like to fix it with out sending it out.

This is only true for EW 100/300/500 series mics!
