Are the power connectors on the DEC PDP-11 backplanes
(e.g. DD11-DF
15pin and 6pin) Molex or other?
Are they still commonly available?

I'm not sure why I bothered to write all this stuff up; it was clearly a waste
of time.

Very useful page; thanks Noel!

Arguably (?) not, if you consider cctalk to be the "search engine" that links
people there :-)

I wish I had seen it before I ordered. I may have gotten the wrong 6pin shell.

Not at all a waste. I have that page bookmarked.

I have found this catalogue useful to browse when trying to find the
appropriate housings and pins.
https://www.te.com/commerce/DocumentDelivery/DDEController?Action=srchrtrv&…
It covers both the commercial Mate-n-lok used in the PDP-11 and universal
Mate-n-lok used in the VAX-11/750 (and others as far as I know)
