Default Re: 5 pin din

From exactly the same designer. The Ripmax one is an early design that has been productised. The others are later designs with updated firmware but not such pretty cases. Your choice .

BTW the Sanwa/Airtronics 5-pin DIN socket is NOT the same as the Hitec/Futaba 6-pin DIN socket. The pins are in a different configuration. However it will work with most of the interfaces provided you wire it correctly. Signal to Pin 3, ground to Pin 2 (be careful, pins are numbered 1,4,2,5,3, check the embossed numbering).
