1210295 2011-06-18 09:08:00 It's a 4 pin serial connector that is on one end of the cable I use to connect my work laptop to a few different types of alarm panels.

I want to make up another lead, which is a db9 on one end and this connector at the other end, but I don't know what it's called.

Anyone know?

1210296 2011-06-18 09:37:00 It looks vaguely similar to the power connector for a floppy drive but I can't remember how many wires it takes. mikebartnz (21)

From what I remember a floppy drive power connector is quite large comparitively. This connector is only about 10mm across.

Compare with these: (or have a look at your desktop's internal power leads)

So have you become a bit of an Arduino fan or not. I am still waiting for some gear to arrive from Mindkits as some of it had to come from the USA.
