Mould your own, they're moulded on anyway it seems , in your pic. If LV then black formulation of hot hot-melt , some pins, wire, make a plug and then multi-mould .

Not exactly the original source, but this should be helpful:
The Yongnuo RS-C3 seems like the ideal device to butcher for the N3 connector.
About $8.50 including shipping on eBay:

Those and other cheap import units have inferior connectors that are very unreliable. The $20 item has gold-plated spring-loaded contacts that are reliable.
