Source for SE Electronics Z5600A - Tube Mic 8 Pin connector

[Whoops]

Hi,
I need to get a replacement female 8 pin connector like this one. It's for the cable of a Tube mic.
Do you know where can I find this type of connector?

Thank you so much

Is it for an SE microphone?

Yes, a Z5600A

Thanks

If Amphenol or similar makes it you should be able to find it by searching Mouser, Digi-Key, Newark etc.

It must be out there. I found somehing similar just Googling 8 pin mic connector:

I also googled...

That connector is not it, those connectors are smaller.

The one in the mic is bigger almost the same internal as an XLR

 

[Whoops]

Anyone knows what the name or designation of the connector might be?

Wouldn't it be the easiest solution to order a replacement cable from SE?

I don’t know if it’s easier or not, depends on where it’s easy or not to buy the same connector and where is the source located.

Also I don’t need a cable just need the female connector

So knowing a source that it’s definitely easier.

Do you know which connector is that Ruud?

Thank you

Could it be it?

they look suspiciously like the connectors used on CNC machines for steppers. It's teh "aviation" GX 16 series

Thanks Abbey, I don’t think so. Those are the same connectors as the one in the link Delta Sigma posted

I actually have those types in stock at the workshop, it’s hard to see in the picture but those are smaller. The internals have a similar size to a DIN.
The one in the mic is more XLR size

Thanks

Seems smaller also
Thanks

So, it may be the larger size, GX20 I believe.

All (anyway: most) connectors that were suggested here look smaller than the SE connector.
The problem is that you only know if it is the correct one, at the moment you have got them...
I have had the SE connectors here, they look 'strange' and very unfamiliar.

Yes all posted here and also the ones I found online are smaller.

If those used by SE atento available somewhere I will but the bullet and order a cable from them.
Unfortunately the connector I have can’t be fixed

 

[Whoops]

So the links provided by Delta Sigma and Abbey are for GX16 connectors that although look similar they're smaller.
I took some measurements and pics so it's easier to understand:

SE connector

GX16 connector

Side by side

SE Electronics call the connector an "8 Pin Army connector"
I'm pretty sure they wanted to say "military" and not "army" and it's just a bad Chinese translation, anyway the original connector is far from "military" grade the soldering contacts pins break really easily, you would definitely loose the was if you used this connector

 

[Whoops]

Searching online I can see that other people asked for this connector also in various forums, it would be nice to find an alternative.

I sent SE Electronics an email to ask for a quote. I hope they sell the part.
At least the schematics they have a strict policy and don't provide them. what a shame.

These measurements seem to be compatible with GX20, that I mentioned earlier.

eBay, Banggodd and AliExpress refer them as "aviation" connectors. Indeed the aviation headsets are equipped with such a 4-pin connector (identical to CNC machines connectors for steppers.

Thank you so much, I ordered a GX20 from Ebay to try it out.
