Hi all,

I'm trying to find the mating connector for this:

https://ibb.co/dObgLa

The connector is part of the electric motor-driven focus mechanism on a
telephoto IR thermal imaging lens assembly from a high-end security camera.
It was an awesome eBay find (a fraction of the usual price of such things)
but now I have to actually figure out how to interface to it and part of
that mystery is to find a mating connector.

The OD of the white plastic shell is 0.267 inch (6.78mm). The 12 contacts
are gold-plated (the flash on the camera makes them look otherwise). They
are little tubes rather than solid pins. They seem to be about 0.03 inch
diameter each (0.76mm) and their inner diameter seems to be 0.022 inch by a
go/no-go pin gage test (0.558mm). Note the flat side of the inner space
which acts as some kind of keying feature.

As best as I can tell, this is a "Micro Plastic Circular" connector by
Omnetics. The mate is probably part number MCP-12xx where xx indicates the
type of termination you want, which I am not picky about since this is a
one-off. There is no marking on the connector itself but an extensive
Google image review for "circular connectors" allowed me to find similar
ones which I then traced to Omnetics.

What I'd really like to know is whether there are any crosses for this part
which are more available than Omnetics OR is there a source which sells
Omnetics' connectors? They don't seem to use the typical distribution
channels.

Any help appreciated!

Thanks,

Sean
