plastic nema 2k field connectors?

[MooGroc]

Last year I stripped the cheap plastic nema 2k connector on the back of my Garmin 740s. It cost over $300 to get repaired from Garmin.

Does anyone know where I can by a plastic field connector (preferably right angle)?

Try Maretron.

Maretron doesn't sell them.

I believe Amphenol LTW series (5 contact) connectors are the standard N2K connectors.

Check amphenolltw.com.

Digikey.com or Mouser.com carry them.

If it is a regular NMEA 2000 connector, The GPS Store (thegpsstore.com) carries them. Not sure that I have seen 90-degree versions, though. If it is a proprietary Garmin plug, I can't help there.

Maretron does both male & female 90°

Yes, Maretron makes nice field connectors. That's what I used the first time when I stripped the plastic threads on the Garmin. They don't seem to make plastic thread field connectors.

It's not clear if anyone does - at least not clear from my Google research. I was hoping someone here might have first hand knowledge.

just buy a 90' plastic cable IE garmin and splice the cable down a bit... or replace whole drop cable. if you need to pass cable through a small hole. cut other side off instead when feeding it. and put field end at backbone. (should have done this anyways for water proofness)

Did you strip the connector on the device or the drop cable? If the cable, use it to pull a new one (Connect as best you can and tape them together) or cut it off and use a field connector, but they tend to be much bigger and if you don't have a decent amount of length to pull it will be difficult to put one on.

If the device is stripped a new cable won't help.
