I believe the manufacturer of the 4 pin plug Dean refers to is LEMO in
Switzerland. Beautifully machined metal parts (reminds me of a fine watch)
and gold contact pins. Pulling on the outer shell activated the latching
prongs. When Planar split off from Tek, I designed them into our flat panel
burn-in racks as the panel bulk drive connector. Expensive connector, but
very reliable. Another super example of why I was so wowed by the Tek
engineering stock. Couldn't find anything like that at any hobby electronics
store!
