So are all 5-pin JIS coupling cables the same size?Uhm, but that's not a 5-pin DIN, but a 5-pin JIS "coupling" (over here we use the word Kupplung for a female plug)...

I should say are all the pin holes the same size and width?Uhm, but that's not a 5-pin DIN, but a 5-pin JIS "coupling" (over here we use the word Kupplung for a female plug)...

Yes. Its my Pioneer PL-7E. The reason for my question is i ordered a new JIS cord for it because the original is 53 years old. Just wanted to update the RCA jacks. And that cord goes right from the arm to the amp. I just wanted to make sure that all JIS jacks were interchangable.Mo: Yup - or at least they should be. But did you already confirm that the arm you'd like to cennect it to actually sports a 5-pin male JIS jack?

The arm has the 5 male pin at the end of the arm, same pattern as the female cable i ordered. I was just hoping the pins wouldnt be too thick, thin, or too far apart.Mo: Yup - or at least they should be. But did you already confirm that the arm you'd like to cennect it to actually sports a 5-pin male JIS jack?

That connector is also called a DIN.
Sadly i dont think its any you mentioned here. It may be proprietary like mentioned above.Mo: Could you determine the size of the pin-holes and the diameter of the circle these are arranged on? Maybe you're lucky and could use at least the connector insert of a DIN 45322 5-pin plug (alias 5-pin, 240° - like for example Hirschmann MAS50UM (unlike Hirschmann MAS50S, which would be our standard DIN 41524 5-pin, 180° type)), which would have 1.5 mm pins arranged on a 7 mm circle.

I think thats the case with this tonearm cable. Ive searched high and low and never saw the pin holes of the one this size.Far as I'm aware there's the regular sized 5 pin DIN and a mini DIN. To confuse matters some of the old turntable arms used a proprietary connector. The Fidelity Research FR-24 used a 4 pin DIN cable.

Its for a Pioneer PL-7E. It takes the same size phono cable as a Pioneer PL-41. Nobody ever determined that size cable on AK.You'll have fun there. The Fidelity Research FR-24 tonearm cables go for silly prices separately. No one makes them. Hopefully it's not the same with your arm. Which arm is it you're looking for the cable for by the way?
Yes. My cable works fine. I just wanted to update an old 53 year old RCA tonearm cable for better signal.It seems you're after one of these?
