Anyone know what type of connector plug this is?

[Pete.]

I have to find another one of these - it's a connector plug for a Vacon VFD. I thought I'd put up a photo here in case anyone could identify the type before I go the route of contacting the manufacturer. I'm hoping that like many they use a standard type of connector instead of a bespoke type, as it would be cheaper.

Any ideas?

Have used that type before ,not sure offhand of the make , have a look at farnells website , you will have to measure it up and compare with the specs on the website as they come in different sizes .
Cheers Mike

Out in the daylight I found a very saint symbol, it's either SA or SH. Can't make out what's on the left though.

Ok panic over I found exactly what I need right here in my own workshop on an old piece of electronics.

For reference, that's a very common Phoenix Contact style of connector. Typically 0.1" pitch but be careful they can also be 2.0mm, 2.5mm, etc as well.

Thanks Luke, yes I found that out - the one I have is a slightly different pitch. I can just about plug in 4 of the 8 but no more. Doesn't matter though I only need to use two of the pins.
