The lid for my PS Audio DLIII TOSLINK jack is broken and I am looking for a replacement jack. Can anyone help me source this part?

 

Thank you for any help.

What is the part number on it?

 

It might be something like TORX193

Thanks Avro_Arrow.

 

The TORX193 is similar but not the same. There is a screw mount above the port and a lid folds down to cover the port when a cable is not installed. I don't have a part number but I know I have seen some DIY projects here using what appears to be the same jack. I have been looking for several days trying to find the posts.

I found the Toshiba TORX 147LF which looks very similar if not the same.

If it's a Toshiba, chances are the part number is molded on the part itself.  For example, on a TORX147PL (the one used on the γ1), the part has "RX147PL" on the back side.  You need to know what the operating voltage is, there are 3.3V and 5V versions, in addition to physical and pin-out variations.

This weekend I'll take another look and try to locate a manufacturer and part number.

I started this thread after I emailed PS Audio customer service and did not get a response after 1 week passed. I received an email from their regional sales manager today and he agreed to send a replacement part. biggrin.gif  When the part comes in I will post all identifying information I can find.

The part arrived from PS Audio today. The only marking is the Toshiba logo, RX147, and date code (see datasheet). The model sent didn't have the built in dust lid that drops down when the cable is removed like the original. Trivial complaint as I know I can identify the correct one. Thanks to all who helped.
