Desperately trying to find a receptacle to match these 10-years-old cords which come from a Beckman Coulter FC500 cytometer. Anyone know the name?

The receptacle previously used is labelled "AMP" with a squiggly M.

Requested infos: Diameter of connector barrel at the end is 4.2mm/.165". Length of gold cap portion is 15.5mm/.610"

The connector seems to be push insertion, with a cheap friction-lock style retention clip on the receptacle (easily bent).

I've included the bag labelled "FOA" but it's electrical, not fiber optic! Could just be a reused bag...

    \$\begingroup\$ Wtf. Never seen that thing before. But others may have. To assist them you could take a caliper and add some measures to your question. I.e. diameter and length for a start. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ Also some better pictures (including better cropping) won't hurt, my guess would be something custom though. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ The connector sockets are marked AMP. That's part of TE Connectivity. You might have some luck contacting them. \$\endgroup\$

More precisely the are called "Coaxicon" by TE; here's a brochure http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/595245.pdf. Beware that they come in several sizes. It looks like yours are the "miniature" version (there's also "subminiature" and "size 8"). Since it seems you want the PCB-mount socket (there's also a cable mount):

They are TE connectors, at digikey http://www.digikey.com/product-search/en?mpart=201145-4&vendor=17 typically used with backplane connectors, it seems.
