[Coco] Socket connector from transformer to motherboard in coco 3

[Dave Philipsen]

Hmmmm....that's interesting.  I just measured the connector pitch on my 
CoCo 3 motherboard and it appears to be .156"  which corresponds to 
about 3.96 mm.  The .156" pitch was a very common pitch used by 
Waldom/Molex for many of their connectors and supports the fact that the 
female connector on my transformer is stamped with p/n 5239 which 
corresponds to a series that is still actively being produced.

The female connector may be found here:

The male may be found here:
