pv8 male multipolar connector - where to buy one?

[stevenheley]

I've had a Draper Tig machine for a good few years that i've never bothered with from brand new, it was well out of it's warranty (Don't ask!) before i tried it.. It all powers up ok, but won't arc, looking at the connectors on the torch it appears it's been wired wrong.

In the connector on the torch it appears to have been wired to points A & G instead of the machines F & G..

Any ideas where i can get a plug from?

I find RS Components are good for obscure plugs but they are typically quite expensive. You might find it's cheaper to swap both the plug and the socket

Another place to try is Servoconnectors I've used them for years.

I tried giving the wires/plug a squirt with WD40 and a little bit of a tug, and the wires popped out.. swapped them around and it all works a treat..
