PCB power connector for B&D Dustbuster

Our Black & Decker Dustbuster had difficulties with charging. It appeared that one of the two connections between connector and PCB was broken. I was able to repair it by some re-soldering between connector bottom and PCB and then quiclkly pressing down the connector before the solder solidified. It worked but for how long?

I was looking on the Internet for a replacement connector but I can not find it. I found the connector for the co-axial plug but not the connector with the two parallel pins (please, look in my album)
Is it typical B&D that uses the power adapter with the two parallel connections?

Regards,

What is the official name/code of such a 2pin PCB power connector?

Somebody knows?

What is the Model Number?

[Jouke van der VeenParticipant @joukevanderveen72935]

It is the DV215EL H1 7.2V.

in principle I do not need the complete PCB but just the black connector on it. Soldering it on the PCB is no issue.

I can find all kinds of power connectors for PCB’s but not this particular one with parallel pins perpendicular to the PCB.

Therefore I am asking for a name or code so that I can do a better search.

Regards,

Jouke

In the days when Black and Decker had service depots you could walk in and ask for any number of spare parts.

These have long since gone, but have you tried to contact B&D as it may be a special? A slim chance in these days of far eastern manufacture I know, but perhaps worth the time and price(!) of an eMail.

I think the black connector is a standard component. I thought I can find this on the Internet, but no.

Last year I have done all the nice catalogs with electrical and electronic components away because Internet is there. Somebody (SWHO) was complaining about books taking space on my(!) shelf. Thats why.

Run some glue under the connector above the PCB to prevent it moving. The usual problem is that the continual strain of plugging in and unplugging fractures the joint or even pulls the track off the board. Glue will hold the connector steady and take the force.

[Jouke van der VeenParticipant @joukevanderveen72935]

That is exactly what happened. The connector was bonded to the PCB already.

First thing I did, when I noticed that it partially detached, was re-bonding it with super glue and pressing the connector firmly down. Hoping that it would make electrical contact again. That did not work.

Then I undercut the connector with a thin wire saw, only half and there where no contact was. Then I could open the gap and melt a bit of solder on the metal parts. Pressing it together while the solder solidified. That worked. Finally I put some super glue around the connector foot. But I have only hope that this will lat long.

Thats why I try to find a replacement connector identical to the original and not to modify the housing of the dustbuster. They must be on the market, somewhere. If this is not a solution at the end then I will make alternatve connections.

Waiting for somebody who recognizes these soldered connectors with 2 parallel pins.

This is the item, though familiar I don't recognise it:

Dave, thank You.

This was ignorance from my side how to do that, and not “rather lazy then tired”. 😉
