I'm looking to purchase a few of these so I have a few spare. But they are only $2 and the shipping is $14. It's still $14 if I order 10 of them.

Either from the US or SIN store.

As the Singapore store seems to be cheaper with UPS shipping.

So is there anyone else on here looking to build a Mitsubishi Heatpump controller with either a Wemos D1 or similar to control their heatpump as that seems to happily work with it as per: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/mitsubishi-ac-with-wemos-d1-mini-pro/107007

If you are keen to make your own cable, I think I have some plugs and the contacts for them that fit CN105.

Have you seen the "Hacking a Mitsubishi Heatpump..." page on Nicegear?

Happy to DIY but if I could track down an existing pigtail that just makes life a little easier.

The connector is a https://www.digikey.co.nz/products/en?keywords=PAP-05V-S with 5 pins.

So if you have a prefab one then that would be brilliant as I have the wemos and seen the nicegear post and used some of the work on the https://github.com/SwiCago/HeatPump repo for my own code.

I got these https://nz.rs-online.com/web/p/pcb-connector-housings/4766798/ and https://nz.rs-online.com/web/p/pcb-connector-contacts/6881385/

Can only find one housing (and contacts) at the moment, yours if you want it, crimping the contacts was a bit of a pain...

@Bartender, did you end up ordering these cables and integrating your heatpump with the wemos? If you still have a spare I'd be happy to buy one off you to do the same. One thing I was wondering though is the cable even necessary couldn't you just use 4 jump wires and connect those to the ESP8266?

I ordered mine from rs online (first link posted by shanes), however I ordered pre-crimped cables, rather than trying to do it myself.

I still have spares from last year when I did mine. Send me a PM with your details and I'll post one to you.

rscole86: I ordered mine from rs online (first link posted by shanes), however I ordered pre-crimped cables, rather than trying to do it myself.

I am trying to find pre-crimped cables, but cannot find them. What do I need to search for? I tried "JST, PA Female" and a few other search expressions in rs-online but got only results of plugs without cables. I would expect pre-crimped cables to have cables connected. Where can I find them?

I used RS part number 512-8737 for the pre-crimped leads and 476-6798 for the housing.

Thank you! - I had some other project keeping me up in between, but now slowly getting back to this.

Somehow, my order at RS did not work; also, the shipping was quite high, so I thought I'll try something else.

Searching for JST PA (5 pins) on Aliexpress did not give me reasonable results: JST PH (with also 2mm) is plentiful available, but according to https://www.mattmillman.com/info/crimpconnectors/common-jst-connector-types/, JST PH and JST PA are not compatible.

Double checking on the manufacturer's specs: JST PA connector https://www.jst.com/products/crimp-style-connectors-wire-to-board-type/pa-connector/; the data sheet contains a match with the manufacturer number PAP-05V-S of RS part number 512-8737.

Looking for the manufacturer number on Aliexpress returns a number of results, including pre-crimped and wired ones like this one:

Pricing seems reasonable with less than $10 for 5 cables including shipping. I will order a pack and update here once I have tried them out.

Thanks @catdog; without your hint I would not have found this!

Just bumping this to ask if you got those CN105 connectors, if you have one to sell or if anyone else has one I could buy?

As promised, the follow-up to my Aliexpress purchase here:

The plugs fit! At least mechanically; I have not tried functionality yet (more about that here: https://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumId=73&topicId=303958).

I purchased the smallest available pack of 5 but need only one, and therefore have a few spare in case anyone nearby needs some.

Thanks for the Ali-express info. I could use one of your spares if still available. I'm aiming to connect an ESP32 to the CN-CNT interface on a Panasonic unit.

Hi, I'm in the process of getting an ecodan to talk to HA via an esp32 card, but I cant find the CN105 interface plug locally here in Christchurch. Has anyone still got one that they could spare?
