Electrical Connector Identification
I managed to break the charge plug for my mini Segway. It's a 4 pin round connector on a 63v 1.9a power brick.
I'm trying to locate the plug so I can solder a new one on, but don't know what it's called or what to search for. 4-pin round connector gives results, but I'm not sure the ones I need. It looks like this; http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/5QMAAO...EBV/s-l500.jpg |
Dunno. Not having much luck finding a 4-hole version of the plug (everyone else uses 3).
Buy the whole charger for 10 bucks: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001992618260.html (though you'll be waiting a while for it to arrive) Oh, here we go... https://www.ebay.com/itm/GX16-GX20-G...n/184130683596 GX16, 4-pin female, at a guess...the number after GX refers to the diameter, in MM of either the plug or the socket... this should clarify: https://www.renhotecpro.com/gx16-connector-data-sheet/ |
Being late to the party, but it looks like a microphone connector for commercial sound equipment. Ampex , maybe.

I cut the broken 4-pin connector off and found there are only two 18 AWG wires.
I'll see if I can find a female connector that will fit the male ends on the Segway and just be careful to hook it up correctly until the 4-pin connector arrives. EDIT- Just found this image; https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/d58AA...SOb/s-l500.jpg I measured the male end of the connector at 11mm diameter. Since I don't see a 10mm version of the plug I'll assume it's actually 12. I ordered a GX12 connector from Ebay, but it will probably take a month to get here from China. $1.59 shipped to my door if I'm willing to wait. |
I got the connector from China already even though it was supposed to take a couple months.
Couldn't find any info on the pinout online, so I took an educated guess that pin 1 was positive, and pin 2 was negative. I was getting slight voltage off those 2 pins from the Segway and figured that meant they were the live pins. I guessed correctly and now the thing is charging. Happy to have fixed it for $1.59. https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....5v4RL._AC_.jpg |
