Shure TA4F Connector

[AudioPurpose]

Looking for parts to repair BodyMic for Shure SLXD Tranwmitter. Can you purchase TA4F connector with circuit board already connected, or can you purchase the circuit board separately? Thanks!

You should be able to source it directly from Shure: https://www.shure.com/en-US/products/accessories

To expand on what @DaveySimps said: Shure has a really good engineering support & service department and they're quite helpful with parts and information.

What mic are you running? Odds are you can swap it out with a standard off the shelf connector. You might need to chuck a resistor or a capacitor in.... but that will show up in the wiring diagram for whatever mic you are running.

Thank you, for the replies!

That's just an off the shelf connector with an SMD capacitor on a small PCB. I am a huge fan of the Rean version of the TA4F, 1/3 the price of the original Switchcraft version and much more robust (including water-resistant varieties) and a better latching mechanism.

If this is like other microphone terminations, you have shield on Pin 1, Bias coming in on Pin 4, shorted to Pin 3, and a resistor or capacitor hopping between Pin 4 and Pin 2. It looks like your mic is an SMD tantalum capacitor, 10mF 16V but any equivalent capacitor would work to smooth the voltage, doesn't need to be an SMD on a board.

Probe the board with a continuity meter to make sure what I think is the pinout is a pinout, but that's generally what I do to re-terminate TA4F microphones.

This mic is a BodyMics BLF4.
