Fisher / Whites coil plug

[skookum]

High,
I already posted this question on the Fisher forum, but got no response.

I`m getting tired of swinging the weight of the control box around for hours on end, so I decided to chest mount my 1270 as well as the 6000.
Problem arises that the coil cable is too short for this application.
Now not wanting to splice cable in between to lengthen it (I am a nit-picker in this regard), here

I think that you can find the plugs you want from Switch craft.You can order from any company that carries Switch craft products.

if on Fisher connectors like on Minelab they are very common and used on car radio stations and etc... http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale/wholesale-5%25252dpin-connectors.html but remember look for better quality, cheap can be disaster and only good for garbage.

Well, searched through both links.
Result : No go Joe.
I still can not find the 5 pin female plug with a flat on the outer diameter (which is 11mm).
Threadsize for the locknut is 15 mm.
Can anybody please help out ????

I have looked at Allied and Mouser electronics web sites and both do not carry the Switch Craft connectors that were used on the older detectors any more. I used to buy these from both of these vendors. You might contact Whites detector and see if they would sell you a couple.

I have looked for these connectors before. They are Switch Craft SL405. Check out Mouser.com

BINGO.
JACKPOT.
Thanks a lot Mike.
I missed them when I searched the Switchcraft online catalog the first time - even though I spent hours searching through all sorts of 5 pin female plugs.
This will put me giant steps ahead towards completion of my set task.

Edit: and also thanks to Steve who told me to look for them at Switchcraft right the first reply.
