The Replacement Parts List now resides on the Empeg Wiki.

In another thread I'd suggested a place in the FAQ for just parts related information. Then I decided to scour and try and find any existing information for parts. (Parts being LED's, sled plugs, resistors, fuses) What I'd like is a good list with digikey part numbers and or links for easy access to the manufacturer. I realize most of this is on the BBS here somewhere but trying to dig it up can sometimes be daunting. I think having a centralized location for all this would make it really easy for the do-it-yourselfers to easily find what they need for projects (even if it's only in this post).

Heres what I have so far... If you see anything wrong or can contribute part numbers go for it!!

Button Materials
Buttons
4 button leds, Digikey Part 67-1606
1 SMD resistor pack, 1k Ohm, 4 resistors, Digikey part Y4102CT

Knob Materials
Knob Board (from Brian) or your own design
1 SMD Transistor
2 to 4 100 Ohm SMD resistors
1 10k Ohm SMD resistor
3 or 4 knob leds, Digikey Part 67-1608

Sled Plugs
Digikey Part H10109-ND - QR/P6-24P-C(01) Male Housing 1

Digikey Part H10087-ND - QR/P1-PC2A-111 Male Signal Terminal 22


I can probably dig up some digikey part numbers for a few more of the button pieces.

I feel so alone.......

Okay. If you're feeling lonely

Hugo gives the Farnell part number for the Mk1 buttons here

- Trevor

ah.. cool, I forgot all about that one I'll add that to the list

Plain circular button cap for mk1
nr 917-461 www.farnell.com

I think this is a great idea by the way.

Thanks Loren!

For the Knob materials I have some part numbers that I used on mine...
For the 100 Ohm SMD resistors, Digikey part number 311-100CCT-ND
Now I'm trying to figure out why I have 560 Ohm resistors??

Hey, great idea!

Here's the part number of the Female Plug. I think it should also be on the list if somebody needs a replacement or just a backup ;-)

DigiKey Part# H10110-ND Female Housing

I think he used 560 Ohms first (that's also what's in the picture), but I think he had some problems with them and changed to 1kOhm. I read it in an old post, but I can't remember which one.

Stig

That would explain it... and probably why I can't find part numbers for the 1k in all my crap! (or any 1k's in my parts drawer)

Here's the Farnell number for the resistor pack

196-770 ARV241-1k-5:RESISTOR ARRAY, 1kOhm (size 1206)

Stig

In reply to:

Here's the part number of the Female Plug.

I'm assuming this part is the power recepticle?

Dug around on the FAQ and pulled a few more part numbers... so heres everything we have so far.

One more: Mk1 docking connector part codes for Farnell are RP16 and RS16 according to this

- Trevor

3 or 4 knob leds, Digikey Part 67-1608 seem to not show up as a product at digikey.

-Greg

No, Part # H10110-ND is the 24 pin connector on the back of the empeg which connects to part # H10109-ND.

uh... just checked they seem to be showing up just fine for me? You typed those numbers in the parts search box?

Maybe the site was just acting sketchy?

Duhhh! Ok I get it... I'll update accordingly thanks!

Farnell number for the 10nF cap : 499-225 (size 0805, order multiple=10)

The Farnell number for the resistor pack is 196-770 (the rest is only description).

Btw, what size is Brian using for the SMT LEDs and resistors?
It should be possible to use Farnell number 355-7996 for the white SMT LEDs.
I don't know if he is using 0603 or 0805 size resistors, but here are the Farnell numbers:
100 Ohm (0603): 911-112
100 Ohm (0805): 911-732
10 kOhm (0603): 911-355
10 kOhm (0805): 911-975

Farnell numbers for 3mm LEDs:
941-852 (about the same intensity as Brian's LEDs, but expensive)
352-6847 (less than half the price and half the intensity)

I used a BC857A transistor when I made my boards and that has Farnell number 302-3412

Stig

Ahh I see the problem. I was just entering that in the order... they have 2 different options(with part numbers) to order. Just out of curiosity.. does anyone have a pdf or something of the nob pcb with the 4 leds. I have a kit here to make pcb's but it would be much easier with a template... I just want to try and make one for my empeg since it seems like it will be a while before brian can get some more out.. plus then all I need is the buttons. This is the one that would be great to have a pdf of: <img src="http://www.hulkster.net/empeg/buttons/pics/knoblayout-new.jpg">

Also.. anyone know the digikey number for:
1 SMD Transistor
4 100 Ohm SMD resistors
1 10k Ohm SMD resistor

Thanks ,
Greg

Added the 100 Ohm SMD resistor part number to the list, I don't have any of the other numbers, here is the updated, corrected list so far...

I hate to keep posting this list as it keeps getting bigger and bigger, but I don't really know how else to keep the list updated and intact without just reposting it over and over

Here's something to add. No Digikey part number as they don't carry them, but here are Molex part numbers:

10-pin header (male) used for internal connections to docking connector, 89400-1020

10-pin housing (female) used for internal connections to docking connector, 87369-1000

Female contacts for above housing, 50212-8100

You can order these as samples if need be.

Stu

Does anybody know where to get the male/female plugs and wire terminals to make a tuner extension similar to that of the original that came with tuner?

The wire that comes with the tuner kit is as long as the extension cord on the original tuner was. And you probably shouldn't make it any longer.

4 button leds, Digikey Part 67-1606
...
3 or 4 knob leds, Digikey Part 67-1608

It would be even more usefull if you could give the specs on these (diameter, height, connector pitch, electrical parameters), so that those without access to Digikey (or those wanting to order it from a store a little closer) have a chance identifying the parts.

cu,
sven

Given the parts numbers, the parameters are easily enough found on digi-keys website.

But the main points:

Button LEDs - standard 3mm round housing, radial leads 1U (2.54mm) c/c. Vf=3.6V, 1100mCd

Knob LEDs - 3.2mm x 2.8mm x 1.9mm, Vf=3.6V, 150mCd

/Michael

Thanks for the warning Tony, I missed that little bit on legthening the cables.

Speaking of LED information does anyone know if Brian or anyone else ever posted part numbers for the newer LED's he was using? (the milky white ones)

Ok. So i've got just about everything ready to order to light up my empeg. Just need two things: 1 10k Ohm SMD resistor and 1 SMD Transistor. Does anyone know the Digi-key part numbers for these?

Also for the dimmer fix.. will this capacitor from Digi-key work? Digi-Key part 399-1158-1-ND. If so you can add that to your list ; )

Thanks,
Greg

As far as the transistor goes, I asked Brian about this a while ago, he didn't remember a specific part number but it's a basic pnp switching transistor. I ordered two different kinds (unfortunately can't find the order or part number to save me) they both worked, one was just microsopic.... A Digikey search should bring up a few results.

I have 19 of the little SMT fuses that go behind the display header on the motherboard. If anyone needs one I'm more than happy to share!!

Ta,

M

Thats cool.... Happen to have a part number?

Mmm... anybody got a part/order number for the tuner connectors --the one that is part of the sled harness?

-ml

Perhaps Patrick can answer that one?

Hrm.. So something like this for the transistor? MMBT3906DICT-ND and 311-100CCT-ND for the 10k resistor? Sorry for asking so many questions.. I just dont want to blow up my empeg.

-Greg

what about the vfd display?

The vfd screen is noritake MN12832E. Someone posted that they dont make them anymore unless you purchase a min of like 100.

-Greg

well.. guess 100 of us need to place an order then.

you know.. just in case.

Don't be sorry thats what this whole thread is about! As far as blowing up your empeg, just make sure the resistor array checks out with a mutimeter and the display itself plugs in correctly (pin alignment), as far as the knob board just test it before you connect it to the empeg...

As far as the parts you've come up with, they look good to me, but I'm no expert on things of that matter, perhaps Mark or someone with a little more expertise could look those over and give it a blessing?

<bump>

This thread is too good to lose. In fact, it might be deemed worthy of a FAQ entry???

Hm. Maybe. Anyone have anything else to add to the list?

I have the rest of the part numbers for the buttons led's. I'll post then when I get home.

I used a BC857A transistor when I made my boards

I tried that transistor and it didn't work for me. Layout and connections seem fine, but the LEDs won't light unless I bypass the transistor.

Anyone know a part number for laptop hdd screws to add a second drive?

4 knob leds, Digikey Part 67-1608

Were those the smaller ones for the 4-LED board, or were they the bigger ones originally intended for the 3-LED board hence causing trouble fitting them to the 4-LED board design?

Lopan has been editing the list instead of posting a new copy, so I don't know if this number is an update since we discussed it in another thread.

67-1607 is the part number for the smaller LEDs used in the 4-LED boards. 67-1608 are the larger ones used on the 3-LED boards.

Stu

Anyone have a part number for the rotary encoder?? Mine is slipping all over the damn place on my MkII and the volume scaling is really intermittent... if that makes sense. It's the old click click kind.. i'd like to put on one of the newer quiet ones like the MkIIa's have.

It's an Alps product. It is probably part number EC11B15243BB or perhaps, EC11B15243BC. Good luck finding them. It won't be easy.

Stu

Anyone have a part number for the rotary encoder??

Better question: Can the MK2-style analog-contacts-type rotary encoder be directly replaced with the MK2A-style optical rotary encoder without modifications to the display board?

Sub-question: If Yes, can the optical version of the encoder be ordered with a round shaft instead of a keyed shaft? I happen to like the looks of the round shaft better when used with the backlit knob.

I don't know what the MK2 has for an encoder, but the one on my MK2A is definitely NOT an optical encoder- way too small for one thing, prohibitively expensive and unnecessary for another. I'm not even sure Alps makes an opitcal encoder.

Stu

I could have sworn that someone once said the Mk2 was analog and the Mk2a was optical. I could certainly be wrong. I don't remember where I saw it.

We have dozens of spare encoders - contact Rob Schofield!

Were those the smaller ones for the 4-LED board

These are the original large LEDs, I don't think we could get anyone to cough up those part numbers I actually used the big ones to make my 4 LED board.

MkIIa is Alps, MkII is a Meggitt part available from Farnell.

Hugo

nah, the only real difference is that the Mk II is surface mount and the mk IIa is thru hole. OK, so the mk IIa also has a keyed shaft and is from a different manufacturer, but electrically they are the same. If you are really clever you could probably fit a mk IIa switch to a mk II as the pin pitches are the same ...

We have dozens of spare encoders - contact Rob Schofield!

Thanks Rob, i will. So what's the official/nonofficial support email now anyway? The FAQ still says [email protected], but is that still active? And other posts people are saying they emailed [email protected]. Bueller?

MkIIa is Alps, MkII is a Meggitt part available from Farnell.

Thanks Hugo. I couldn't find it in the Farnell catalogue. Looks like it's one of these though:

The FAQ still says [email protected], but is that still active? And other posts people are saying they emailed [email protected]. Bueller?

I'm told that both of those addresses still work. Until I'm officially told otherwise, the FAQ is still correct.

Can anyone verify the size of the fascia hex socket cap screws? I believe they are M2.5x10. Is this correct?

Also, has the parts list been added to the FAQ or is this thread the most recent info?

Can anyone verify the size of the fascia hex socket cap screws? I believe they are M2.5x10. Is this correct?

Bueller...Bueller...?

Does anyone know of a source for these? I need 4 new screws and Paul needs one. A few spares wouldn't hurt either.

"fastener supply shop" in the local yellow pages?

Maryland Metrics. MSC Industrial Supply. Fastenal. Digikey.

(google for 'em)

-Zeke

Maryland Metrics apparantly don't sell black oxide 2.5x10, only plain steel.
Ditto for MSC Industrial Supply.
Fastenal's only metric hex screws are in expensive kits with a minimum size of M4. Didn't even bother to check finish.
Digikey don't sell any metric black oxide.

Next!?

Maryland Metrics apparantly don't sell black 2.5x10.

I'm fairly certain the empegs fascia screws were painted black specifically for empeg.

Ah yes...

Matthew

I purchase an M2.5x6 DIN912 SHCS from Metric Screw and Tool Co. ($25 min. order) with a black oxide finish 1-800-METRIC1.

Also, Metric & Multistandard. http://www.metricmcc.com/

Search under Metric Item Only for 912 (the DIN #)

I'd be very suprized to see a bright zinc or uncoated steel socket head cap screw in that size. Stainless and High-Tensile would be more standard.

-Zeke

Here's the link for Mcmaster-Carr for these. They can be found in alloy steel and stainless steel. They do not appear to have black oxide.

I ordered the M2.5x10mm from McMaster Carr. After re-measuring the original socket head cap screws instead of the ones provided by 303 with my new face, I believe the originals were 12mm. I don't expect it will make much difference but thought I'd posit it.

On to HD screws, the originals were M3 but what length. I've ordered both 6mm and 8mm. Any idea if these are correct or not? Below are details from the order.

91801A151
Metric 316 SS Flat Head Phil Machine Screw M3 Size, 6mm Length, .5mm Pitch, Packs of 100, $6.76

91801A154

Metric 316 SS Socket Head Cap Screw M2.5 Thread, 10mm Length, .45mm Pitch, Packs of 50, $6.88

Well, I searched this thread, but didn't find the answer to my question:
Where can I get a replacement screw for the connector on the back of the empeg?
My wife's lost one of its two screws, and I know they're very specific parts, as they allow some slop on the connector. Anyone know where I can get a couple replacements?

You could use a regular screw (as long as it was the right length) and just not screw it down all the way. Loctite the hell out of it, and you should be good to go.

Just buy one of the connectors. The screws are included with it.

Be careful using the empeg without one of the screws. It's a great way to get your empeg stuck in the sled, which in turn is a great way to break the handle trying to get it out.

I got the hex screws but they're the wrong size. Time to try again.

Yea I found that out the hard way. It was ok for a while then one day it was jammed in good. I wiggled and pulled and then the handle snapped and even then the empeg didnt pop out. I have since drilled a hole in the two parts of the handle and glued in a needle. That helps hold it together til I can find a replacement handle. Just spend the $5 for the connector and 2 screws. I ordered mine the day before I broke the handle.

Does anyone have the part numbers and source that carries the blue and white button switches that connect to the display board and hold the lights and (stock) grey buttons? I want to buy a few so I can send them to molding companies to help determine the "tolerances" for the translucent buttons that are in progress. Thanks.

They're mec switches and manufacturer partno is 3FTL6 and available from Farnell with order code 674-825.

There is a dimensional PDF downloadable from both Farnell and the original manufacturer (ALPS, I think).

Nope, they're not Alps, it's the Multimec 3F line from mec. The homepage is www.mec.dk

Awesome, thanks guys! That should help alot.

Anyone know the size screw that is used to hold the handle on to the player?
I know,REALLY F&!#KING SMALL
Seriously though any idea where I could get 1 or more?

Ripped from another thread

Hi,

From the posts in the memory upgrade threads, the critical part for a MK2A memory upgrade is
2 of 4Mx16 3.3v 50ns 4k refresh TSOP-50 EDO DRAM: Micron MT4LC4M16R6TG-5 or equivalent.

For a MK1 and a MK2 respectively, 4 ICs are required.
I *think* the correct parts are:
1Mx16 3.3v 50 or 60ns 1k refresh TSOP-44/50 EDO DROM: Micron MT4LC1M16E5TG-5, Siemens HYB3118165BST-60 or equivalent.

In particular, I'm not sure about the speed - 50ns or 60ns? Is the refresh right?

By the way, if anyone needs Mark2A RAM, I still have a bunch of chips left.

did this ever get FAQ'ed?

if so, feel free to unstickify

Tony - did the parts list above get FAQ'd? I searched using 'parts list' and didn't get a hit. Is is there? Is my search Fu just that weak?

The changelog seems neglected as well, it reports the last change as July 30, 2002. I assume this is incorrect?

Quick question, Is this the right fuse

SMD Fuse: FUSE 1.00A 63V 1206 SMD Digikey part WK4661CT-ND

to replace this fuse?


and, would anyone have two spares kicking around they'd like to sell?

The sticky is very much appreciated, btw! Thanks for the update.

I found this site and thought I would post it, looks like they might be good leds for the empeg knob... very small and very bright.

Anybody ever find a part number for those stepped screws that go into the docking connector on the back of the unit? The connector is really cheap and all, but I'm now buying my third one just to get the screws (which keep falling out).

Cheers.

I dont know the part number for the screws but you might try some locktite on the next ones you install.

I'd like to make a custom harness with molex connectors to make adding the sled plug n play (as well as putting back my deleted RCA connectors for the tuner).

This is the correct part to go on the sled I believe and I would like to know which are the correct connectors to add in at the back after attaching the wires.

Thanks.

I guess it is this one for everything other than power

Digikey Part No. H10087-ND

Consult the shiny new Empeg Wiki

Nice work!

Maybe we can unsticky this post after someone modifies the FAQ. I'd say that we could use another post or two in the FAQ forum here pointing people at the Wiki for third-party software, the Hijack FAQ, replacement parts, etc., in addition to the normal FAQ.

The Replacement Parts List now resides on the Empeg Wiki.

I'm de-sticky-ing the thread and editing the original post. Tony, could you please update the FAQ and, perhaps, put a thread in the FAQ forum?

I had been meaning to get around to putting the parts list in the FAQ and never did. So I just put an entry in the FAQ linking to the parts list.

IDE Header: 44-pin 2mm spacing, male, surface-mount, Molex #87759-4450, Digikey #WM18669. Also wikkied.

Sure....but how do I replace the RCA connectors...? I've been looking all over the place for replacement RCA connectors (connectors that just end in tinned wire, and aren't terminated with another RCA connection) and I can't seem to locate them.

I suppose I could clip the ends of existing RCA cables, but I'd like to achieve some semblance of audio quality here. Any pointers would be great.

Radio Shack.

Digikey.com

Frys.

Any other electronic components place.

I did see them at Radio Shack, but they're male only which would require an adapter. I also took a look at digikey, but they only sell completed adapters, it would appear.

Something like this?

Rock and roll...I get it now; thanks!

Now discontinued. The RoHS compliant replacement is MMBT3906-FDICT-ND

Sigh.

Restickifying.

Anyone know how to locate and order Mark 2 docking connector parts? Both sled-side and player-side.

Right now I think I might be looking for a couple extra parts of the player-side half of the mark 2 docking connector. Both the plastic bit and the pins.

I recall someone in another thread was inquiring about something similar recently.

If they are the same as Mk2A (and I'm pretty sure they are), I still have a bunch of docking connector sled side (only) pieces. Would be fairly economical to post from Australia.

Otherwise Digikey
http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSear...Words=H10087-ND
http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSear...Words=H10086-ND
(for the sled parts at least)

See also down below for "related" parts.

Thanks, but my main desire is for the Mk2/Mk2a player-side bits for now. The big black plastic piece as well as the little pins.

Trying to follow those digikey links to the "for use with" items, I'm only seeing the sled-side pieces, not the player-side pieces.

Aha, there we go.

Had to open up the datasheet PDF and locate the mfr part number and type that into the search box at Digikey.

Except, looking at the actual player itself, even though that's the correct number of pins, the picture doesn't look right for their arrangement compared to the player.

This one looks a lot more like it. Still some minor differences but those might just be cosmetic? Hm.

Edit: Ima order me summa dat.

Except... ARGH... there are four different kinds of crimp terminals listed that go with that part. Which one is the correct one?

Aha: Figured it out. The connector has two different kinds of slots: The 22 "signal" terminals and the 2 "power" terminals.

Each of those types of crimp terminals comes in two flavors: Thin wire and thick wire flavors.

I think I can make an informed buying decision now.

Thanks for your help in getting me started on locating the part, Shonky!

For future reference for this thread, it's the QR/P6 SERIES, not the QR/P1 SERIES that we want.

Following up: Yes, that turns out to be the correct part for the MK2 player-side docking connector, the QR/P6 Series. The parts I received fit perfectly.

The blade terminals that are linked to it come in four flavors: Large terminals for the two large power pins, and smaller terminals for the remaining smaller docking pins. Each of those comes in two flavors for two different gauges of wire to crimp.
