Can anyone identify this psu connector ?

[Valvebloke]

I'm trying to identify the silver coloured 5-pole screw connector in these pictures. It's the power outlet on a small psu for a commercial valve pre-amp, so it carries both heater and HT supplies. The equipment is perhaps 10-15 years old.


Thanks for any help,

I think that this is a Lemo. Depends on the size in order to find the part number of the mating connector http://www.lemo.co.uk/images/catalogue_d...lector.pdf , but probably a type B or 2C/2G series.

And it isn't screwed - that is just the mounting screw. The connector itself fits entirely in the centre hole, and is a push-latch action. To remove, you pull the collar and it unlatches.

They are not cheap!

(Craig got there first - well done!)

It looks very like a variant of one of the Lemo 0B or OB series connectors. RS have them, I think.

Or at least that gets you in the right direction!

Thanks for the replies folks, I believe you're right. I've serviced two separate but very similar looking components from this manufacturer - a line level pre-amp and a phono stage, each with an outboard psu. The owner of them both now wants me to build an alternative psu for the line level unit. He brought the original psu over for me to photograph and that's what you can see above. I remembered that it had a screw connection but I've checked my original notes and it turns out that it actually had a push-fit plug and the phono unit a screw-fit one, presumably to avoid mixing them up (the psus are very different inside).
