Mating Chassis Mount 8 Pole Connector

[Gold]

I am looking for circular 8 pole chassis mount connectors that will mate with each other. It seems like with most connectors a Chassis mount connector is supposed to mate with an inline or cable mount connector.

I want to have a project box with a connector plug directly into an opposite sex panel mount connector. It's to change a phono preamp front end. So I can have a phono cartridge matched to a preamp. That way I can terminate each cartridge in an ideal manner. When I change over I only have to do the mechanical calibration. I change both the cart and the preamp.

Something like an Amphenol Sine series would be ideal but there doesn't seem to be mating chassis or panel mount connectors.

Maybe look at Hirose? I don't really know their line at all, BUT, I do know that they will mate in weird ways. Such as...a male-pin panel-mount with a male-pin in-line cable mount. And how do I know that obscure fact? I once did a service call on a newly installed Allen & Heath ML-4000 console. The desk had been shipped, inadvertently, with two redundant MPS-14 power supplies which are a different SKU from the main supply. The difference being that the "main" supply ships with a long Male>Female multi-cable while the redundant supply ships with a short Male>Male link cable that goes from the Main Out on Supply-2 to the 2nd connector on Supply-1. The installers had built a little plinth under the desk, to get the supplies within reach of the short cable and mated that to the desk. The shell fit, the collar locked...and the male pins mating with male pins reversed some important things like the +/-18v rails!
So, maybe they make a panel mount male that will mate with a panel mount female.
Another thought...could you do this with small EDAC connectors? Not round, but...

I like EDAC connectors but to lock the connectors I would need to extend the actuator all the way through the box with a knob on top. That would mean the box has to be deeper to clear the actuator and the PCB. Not ideal.

Ideally I’d like a bayonet style mating scheme where you insert, twist and lock.

I want a locking small signal connector. These are phono cartridge signals.

A modified speakon? or some other neutrik type plug? There looks like there are some 8 pole but I'm not following along very well...

I think I found what I need. It turns out Amphenol Sine Ecomate RM Series has a flange mount receptacle and a panel mount plug. I realized I need 14 pins so this is the 19 pin version.

The classic chassis-to-chassis connector is the Siemens Messerstecker (= knife blade connector) according to DIN41622, now available from Telegaertner, for example.

In your case it would be the "Multipin A 8 DIN 41622 str, Art. No. 100023258" (male) and its counterpart, the "Multipin B 8 DIN 41522 str, Art. No. 100023247" (female).

I am familiar with these connectors. They were used by Neumann on the lathes and lathe electronics. Mostly the 30 pin version.

They would be a good choice but they are not easy to find in the US. I’d need a good supplier that sold all the little locking hardware and sold in small quantities.

I got these in the mail today. These will do just fine.
