DC ratings are generally much lower.Switchcraft 7pin XLR is rated for 125Vac
Amphenol 7pin XLR is rated for 133V
Where can I get this connector

This is true for relay contacts and switches but I’m not sure that applies to connectors. In a few places I came across a note for connectors that rated currents and voltages are valid for an already connected connector and are not valid for connecting under load.
Anyway I don't see any technical and engineering reason why a 7pin DIN connector could have a 300V rated voltage, as opposed to a 7pin XLR connector that has 50V or so.

Ah, yes, of course, Abbey. Thx for setting this dumbo straight!
Agreed. The differences are most often due to managerial decisions as to what certification is deemed profitable.
Search locking din connector on eBay,it is available from a UK company.Is this a 7 pin din connector?
a couple of our old tube mics have the female version on the psu side and I am looking for the male version in the photo. Someone’s cart or stand rolled over the cable at the studio and damaged the cable.

My diy u47’s and 49’s I use binder connector on.

For several of my next projects I will use Hirose (HRS) JR16 connectors. I like it a lot more than Binder, and the price is about the same as XLR connectors.

Digikey and mouser both carry the Hirose. There’s also the very similar JAE connector- the SRCN series. Very competitive price to 7-pin xlr and very rugged.

Actually the SCRN series is almost perfect. The right size and 5 or 10amps, 250VAC/350VDC
might be slightly trickier to incorporate the mating connector at the mic body end due to the flange tho

I'm not sure Pucho wants to replace both the plug on the cable and the socket on the PSU.

Pucho has already got an answer to his question (JPOs posts), and a few of us are now debating which solutions would be better in that position. Just to divert attention from the right solution. Pure entropy.
