I'm looking for a supply of the uncommon DEC 20mA current loop male connector
shells used to plug into DEC VT100s, Wyse 85s, and the like. It is also used
to plug into the H744 (and other) power supplies.
The DEC part number is 12-09340-00 which might also be a Mate-N-Lock
1-480460-0
I would like to find 12-24 of them. I am assuming that if I can find the
shells, I can find a pin from either AMP or Molex which will work.

Tom,
Can you post a picture of one? One of the places that I scrounge at has baskets full of
cut off cable connectors. I might be able to find some there.

Sure, take a look at P13 in these photos:

I've kludged together cables for a PDP-11/34 by using the pins
out of those 4-pin Molex connectors that are normally used on
disk and tape drives. We just stuck the pins in the appropriate
sockets and left it at that! Being careful not to pull on the
wire, of course.

Another possibility, depending on the shape of the receptacle recess,
might be to encapsulate the pins(?) with RTV. Same caveats as Tony
cited above.

Couldn't you get a strip of plastic and drill some suitable (stepped)
holes in it to hold the pins? OK, it wouldn't lock to the socket, and it
would probably fit either way up, but at least the pins would be kept in
the right sequence.
