What connectors are these for Telefunken M5c ?

[Rob Flinn]

I have a friend who is looking for connectors to fit these sockets. Does anyone know what they're called ? Are they some sort of tuchel connector ?

Yeah, I would say they belong to the Groß-Tuchel family. The term Tuchel is used colloquially for this type of plug and socket. A coarse distinction is made between large (Groß-) and small (Klein) Tuchel. The correct designation would be DINXXXXX, for instance the 3pin Groß-Tuchel would be DIN 41624.There are other variants with more pins (U47 etc) and for special applications, see M5 tape head connector.(last link)

Binder is currently manufacturing these connectors.

Yes, Binder offers still some versions. These things are still used for welding(!) equipment today.
