Name of this Elec plug

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

This is an interconnecting lead for a Older, but still in production Smoke and heat detectors.
It joins the head to the base.

The issue is they can break the locking pin, so on a flexible floor they can work loose.

We can not stop the floor above from flexing.

They used to be available as a separate item, but now you have to buy a new head to get one.

Can any one give me a name, so I can hunt some down.

Looks like a molex connector

As only 5 out of the 8 pins are used, can you thread something through one or more of the unused places and physically tie the plug to its socket?

Can you show pictures of both ends of what the lead plugs into as some other form of mechanical restraint might be possible.

Used to put thin tie wraps through both if free place

Next time when I swear at the site again I will.

Have a look through the range and check the dimensions, it is likely one of these.

Check these for dimensions... Should be readily available...

News.
The supplier of the smoke detector, not the manufacturer was not honest.
The supplier has them in stock.
Either as single items or multiple of 5.
