They still seem reasonably available: http://octopart.com/phr-4-jst-279167 points to a few suppliers and a datasheet. newark have them in stock: Housing: http://www.newark.com/jsp/search/productdetail.jsp?SKU=09J7809&CMP=AFC-OP&CMP=AFC-OP Crimps: http://www.newark.com/jst-japan-solderless-terminals/sph-002t-p0-5s/contact-0-05-0-22mm-cut-reel/dp/06R6484 (450 dollars for the right crimp tool though, so you probably want to bodge that bit :-) I'd imagine there's be loads of those old CD drive cables kicking about too which would avoid the crimping and be practically free. I know I've got several. Try freecycle? CPC are stil selling them at 65p each: http://cpc.farnell.com/_/cd-110/analogue-audio-cable-for-cd-dvd/dp/CS02453 HTH Wookey -- Principal hats: Linaro, Emdebian, Wookware, Balloonboard, ARM http://wookware.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
