Multi Plug Connector
Does anyone know where I can get a 7 way variant of this connector? There doesn't seem to be a standard name for them which makes it hard to
search. This picture's from Maplin but theirs are too small and they don't have 7 pins. I've tried RS components website and it's
a bit of a minefield but I don't think they have them either.

trailer plugs?
or 2 of your 5 way ones, but male and female opposite ways round (so you can't plug them into the wrong ones)

The pins are arranged differently than on a microphone plug. They are kind of like this

Equally spaced though, the pictures not showing right on here

Them RS ones have the wrong hole pattern.
Them's the exact ones on Ebay. If only someone in Britain sold them now!

For $6 I would risk buying them from China
..... or just pay £139 for the R-Tech footpedal
One other thought, can you get crimp socket pins to suit the existing plug on your torch and adapt that?

I'll give the Ebay a go then.
RS might sell them but as you say Blake the sites a bit pish and when I went to the store there were 5 huge catalogues and some cashiers who
didn't know so forget them. There loss....of a few quid
