Hi! Can somebody please help me source a digital audio optical output port , if possible on the Farnell website : http://uk.farnell.com/

I am looking for the Digital Optical Out port seen on the left of this picture :

Something suitable for DIP would be great.

 

What do you mean by "DIP" ?

 

There is a conversion circuit needed to change laser light into electricity before you can mount a connector in a printed circuit board.
Searching google show's some possible matches at alibaba
I do not click on links to that site, but you are welcome to do so.

 

Check page 9

 

Pdf is saying it cannot be opened.

Search for Toshiba TOSLINK adaptors and it will appear. You can get manf. Part numbers that will help you track down a seller.

 

Trying to upload the pdf one more time

A chip that can slot into a breadboard rather than a SMB (surface mount board)

Searching for that really doesn't result in any useful outcomes. I really just need a source / supplier where I can purchase one of these Toshiba TOSLINK adaptors! Seems like i'm not the only one finding it hard to come by!

 

Do you need a chip or will a module such as this work for you.

 

Here is just the TOSLINK "connector"...
Connector needs 3.3 to 5V power and TTL signal. The connector includes the LED. All for 1.49.

Needs to be the chip!

Yeah! Something like this I thikn - except
Ideally from farnell.co.uk

datasheet here - several different slight permutations between them...(Farnell carries all of them).

How do you find things so well - I have no idea how you do that? Can you help me understand the difference between the OTJ1 - OTJ2 and OTJ3?

Can you help me understand the difference between the OTJ1 - OTJ2 and OTJ3?

Yes, the difference can be found by sending that question to the sales email address at the bottom of the datasheet.

 

OJx - The x determines the mechanical layout or "footprint". Totally obvious

Seriously? is it that obvious? Not particularly obvious to me what the exact differences are!

yes, read the description in the dataheet

various pin spacing, dust protector as a d\plastic plug vs spring hinge doors, ...

 

OK
-1 has TWO large plastic pins for PCB mounting, uses self-tapping screw
-2 has THREE large plastic pins for PCB mounting, uses self-tapping screw
-3 has TWO large plastic pins, no place for a screw

See the PC Layout pattern for each.

So basically they have a different PCB layout pattern and two of them mount with screws.

 

DIP means double in-line package (of ICs), just like all the old logic chips and whatnot. The word you are probably looking for is through hole, as oposed to smd.
