Hi Folks!
I would like to turn an AES/EBU Input which I don't need/use
into a Toslink Input. But neither Neutrik nor anyone else seems to have a mechanically compatible product. The electronics after the socket with sensor are less of an issue.
This product would do the job, but does not fit mechanically:
Thanks for your solution suggestions!
Regards,
Winfried

Maybe save yourself some fabrication: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805885869312.html
I've never used one so I cannot vouch for its performance.

Anything else looks more or less the same. You have few options.
1) Use a converter as mentioned above.
2) Use coaxial S/PDIF (RCA cable).
3) Somehow use a smaller sized receiver like the following (no idea about the cable / mating).

Sincere thanks for the feedback! 😀
I just noticed a big mistake in my request and apologise for that! 😳
What I need is not a receiver, but a transmitter! This actually does not really change the availability situation, though 😉
It seems like the product I'm looking for does not actually exist anyway. Using a different system, an external adapter or an AES/EBU cable are unfortunately not viable options in my case, because I want to directly connect the transmitter to TTL level signal inside the system (i.e. before the pulse transformer). So I'll probably have to "somehow" work with a connector type as shown.
Thanks again for the advice,
Winfried

The following AppNote has a list of both transmitter and receiver parts that are suitable for S/PDIF applications. The transmitter parts directly operate from digital logic.

Piece of cake! Any DIYer can do this in an hour.
Remove the Neutrik. Make an aluminium sheet (preferably anodized black) of the right size and drill M3 holes to mount it with the existing diagonal M3 holes. Now determine where the mounting hole and the rectangular hole for the Toslink must come. Drill and then file to a perfect rectangular hole. Mount the Toslink receiver with its screw and connect wiring. Done!

Hi folks,
sincere thanks for feedback, links and hints! It seems as if I really need to make some kind of DIY solution... A friend is actually CAD designer and could probably design a 3D printed solution to fit the transmitter into XLR monting holes, so potentially I'll glue the Transmitter to the 3D printed adapter piece.
OK, main finding is: What I need for my application is not available and needs to be custome made.

Just to for the info of potentially interested people I'm finalising this thread:
I have found a different solution which uses the SPDIF coded TTL signal in my system to generate
1. 2x Toslink Out
2. 2x BNC Out
This multiple digital outputs board directly fed with SPDIF TTL signal (from CS8420 TXP or TXN) and is available from Audiophonics, and does the trick cleanly (with minor modifications).
Thanks for all the input!
