I have a Mitutoyo 543-252B digimatic indicator. The cable seems to be Mitutoyo part #905xxx

It looks like:

They are quite expensive. Does anyone know of a plug that might be substituted.

Edit: Approximate dimensions for socket are: 10.5X4.9 mm; contacts are about 1.7 mm on center.
Thanks. John

 

My guess is that it's a custom cable. How else could they get ~$50 for it.
Sure has kept me from buying one.

Ken, Thanks.

If I can't find one cheap, I may just solder some Be-Cu strips to a PCB and keep pressure with a piece of sponge -- or even solder directly to the contacts in the indicator. They are just like a card edge connector etched on a PCB.

I can't justify spending $40 for a simple plug when the whole indicator, new in-box, was not much more on ebay. John
