Anyone knows where to buy bulk female cables of this types? These are 5pin and 6pin DIN female or female to female cables? I searched aliexpress but i see alot of unmolded ones.
I'm looking for 5pin and 6pin DIN molded female connectors

The companies that have tooling to insert mold or overmold the 5-pin female will also be able to do other pin counts of the same shell size. For example:

Most of those will be male, male to male patch cords, male to female extensions or mini DIN. You have to be really careful with ebay. The reasonable quality correct items may appear there but often it's only to clear out an overstock or overrun quantity.
Yeah i know but most of them are not what im looking.
Hi there! The female din connectors im looking are standard but upon searching on ebay, aliexpress, etc.. I found out that these are not easily available to buy. Most female connectors are(left picture):
in which you have to assemble and solder all the wires manually. What im looking are female din connectors that are already assembled (im not sure if the term is overmolded or molded) with 4 or 5 wires on the other end for connecting to whatever im building. Im actually making a soarer's usb converter for old keyboards and im currently using the above din female connector. It works great and i can easily buy the above connectors in bulk but needs a lot of work to assemble just like i said.

There are some female to male 5 pin DIN midi extension cord but the cable is too thick. I can even use an AT to PS2 cable but then again the cable is too thick. This is currently what I made and you can see it at http://www.tinkerboy.xyz/product/tinkerboy-xt-at-usb-converter-with-soarers-converter-firmware/. The pictures on my first post are from another seller using those female din connectors and im trying to find out where to get them in bulk.
Yes i have one of those cheap converters and they work great for PS/2 keyboards but not for older XT or AT, terminal keyboards.
