Need Help Identifying Plugs On An ANTENNA ROTOR

[Captain Kilowatt]

Well I just measured the jack on my Yaesu G-2800DXA rotator I have in the basement and it is NOT the same size. Yours measures 13/16 of an inch and mine is only 5/8 inch. Also mine has four key ways in it to ensure proper alignment when inserting the plug. The pin arrangement looks the same however. Also take note that the rotator housing on both yours and mine is flattened where the connector is mounted. A normal flat based bulkhead or panel mount connector will work perfectly. No need for shims etc as the surface is flat and not curved.

The rotor plug is definitely NOT a microphone plug . . . It is MUCH Larger.

I took some photo's with a ruler to give some scale to it

Looks like a standard encoder plug used in industrial automation. I believe it is made by Amphenol but I don't know if the numbers on it mean anything. Should be able to get it from Digikey. I will dig for a part number. Looks like the threaded part on this one is longer, might have to modify the ring.

Old post but trying to help anyone as needed, the plug you need for this Wilson WR-500 at the rotor end is a Nanaboshi NCS258P, This plug also fit's the Kenpro KR-2000RC rotor,
