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.
