    Does anyone have the PN and pinout for the port replicator mating connector and the pinout for a CF-30? I would like to build a custom application docking station but cant seem to get a good answer from Panasonic and Gamber just wants to sell me a docking station they build. Any information would be a big help thanks.

    For part number CF-VEB272A2W (Port Replicator) the part number DL3UP1438AAA is shown as the connector.

    What pinout do you need for the CF-30?

    You may just want to buy either a used port replicator or a docking station and buy those parts. The connectors are going to sell for at least $45 each... Plus whatever else you need that you could harvest from an existing mount.

    Thanks for all the help everyone, and I almost have everythying I need. I have the port replicator connector and have verified all the pins now the only part I need is the connector that mates with the ribbon cable end of the port replicator connector (P/N DL3UP1438AAA) If anyone has this PN that would be a big help,

    Ok I have researched a little more and think it may be K1FB180A0002 or K1FB180A0004 but am not sure, these are the only 2 80 pin connectors shown for the port replicator but I am concerned the FPC is just the ribbon cable and you need both the "K1" connectors again any help would be great


    THanks

    Well the bad news is panasonic will not sell the connectors I need. I tried twi differnt distributors with no luck. Panasonic tells me to go to Heartland and they tell me they dont sell connectors they just refurbish boards. What is realy screwed up is I am able to order the parts on line but they get cancled two weeks later

    Hmmmm.... I just ordered pretty much the same thing for the CF-18 port replicator. Heartland can be kind of demanding that you MUST have the exact part number. If you have any doubt...

    All my manuals are listed by exact model number. Do you have the model number of the port replicator?

    P/N DL3UP1438AAA,K1FB180A0002, K1FB180A0004
    I checked the parts of the panasonic website and they are valid parts
