I have a couple of dbx 903s to rack up. The contact pitch is 4 mm, as close as I can measure it, which seems odd for a US-made product. The closest thing I can find at Farnell is a 3.96mm pitch connector

The dbx connector has 15 ways. I have found a couple that look close:

Any suggestions as to the ideal part? Or does anyone have a couple?

Many thanks

It's 0.156"  = 3.96mm

That should get you started.
 
The standard API car edge connector is working fine. 15pins @ 3,96mm.
Attached a pic of my dbx 900 measuring adapter for my 51x measuring adapter :)

Those card edge adapters are way cheaper with PCB pins purchased from Jeff Steiger or me, you might ask Cemal in the UK.

Ah, many thanks. I didn't know it used the same connector as API cards.
I wonder where 0.156 inches came from? It's not an obvious pitch - or not to me anyway

Thanks for that. Sadly by the time they get to the UK they will have doubled or tripled in price. I believe they are quite heavy so shipping + purchase + VAT on the whole lot will make one quite expensive
