A shopping question. We use to use Cinch 300 series 8 pin power connectors. Then they stopped making the 8 pin ones. So Molex 3300 series. which is now no longer made either.
Grumble. Is there some other manufacturer that might make a compatible product? (I've go panels with the cut-out for 8 pins.)
TIA George H.
Wow, I thought people stopped making Jones plugs in about 1950.
Dunno about physically compatible (likely not), but Harting makes modern connectors that are pretty common for that kind of service. Used Cinch-Jones parts when I were a lad- black wrinkle paint and all. They go nicely with those phenolic lug strips and grey hammertone panels.
Still some on the surplus market.. make a lifetime buy?
Thanks Spehro... I don't really need a life time buy, just enough to use up whatever panels we have. And then design in a new connector.

Mouser still has stock of a few hundred of them:

Grin... Actually they still make all of them *except* the 8 pin one that we use. Murphy's law.
