Power connector specifications and wiring for Sony F65 camera
13 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- The Sony F65 uses an 8-pin Lemo connector, model FGJ.3B.308.CLLD72Z, which is identical to that used on the Genesis, F23, and F35 cameras.
- The F65 connector carries both 12V and 24V supplies, with the camera operating on 12V power while the 24V is passed through to a separate Fischer 3-pin output connector.
- A cable originally wired for the Genesis may power the F65 body but not properly supply all accessory ports, requiring testing before use.
- When using a Y-cable configuration to supply multiple power inputs, the camera internally combines all positive and negative pins, allowing the cable routing to individual pins to vary without affecting operation.
- A single 12V supply routed to both the main camera power and auxiliary ports via Y-cable can successfully power an F65 using accessories designed for 12V operation.
Depends on
- One user reported incomplete accessory powering when using a Genesis-wired cable on F65 without clarifying whether the cable was single 12V or dual 12V/24V.
- The specific internal pin assignment details of the FGJ.3B.308.CLLD72Z connector were not fully documented in the thread.
- Experience is based on field use rather than official documentation review.
