Name that DC electric plug

This is the DC plug on a gizmo I got at an auction. I am looking to buy a power cable to see if it powers on.

5/8" by 3/8" 4 pins x 2 pins male plug, keyed.

Can someone tell me the name of this connection, please?

Thanks,

Steve

It looks a lot like this:

Looks like a molex mini-fit Jr.

I think Richard named it correctly (and quickly). Thanks.

It looks like a Molex 8 pin connector.

Now for a trip to Tanners.

Thanks,

Steve

Tanners isn’t open today. :frowning:

You’re going to need to know which pins should have power applied, etc. Do you know this?

If not, time to take the screws out of the chassis and open it. In fact, you should always take things apart before first powering them up. You’ll learn a lot and it sometimes avoids catastrophes when you find bugs/varmits are hiding or have eaten wiring.
