I need to buy the Molex connector for my Insight GEM 602. It is a 15/30 pin edge connector with a 0.100" pitch between contacts. It also has a notch in the card to prevent the connector being installed backwards. Any idea what the part number I need is and where I could buy it? There is no info regarding this in the documentation I received with the unit. It also appears that this series [4338 ??] of connector has been deemed obsolete by Molex.

PS I tried to attach a photo of the rear of the unit, but this forum does not allow jpg attachments.

  Check out the Molex data page on my website:

  Data there includes descriptions and photos
  of the 4338 series connectors and pins. Yeah,
  been out of production for a long time.

  Over the years I've had some luck finding
  connectors at surplus electronics shops
  but those opportunities are growing really
  skinny too.

  I do have a few pieces of work-around left
  over from the last few times I had your
  problem. You'll see some pictures on the website
  where a builder cut two larger connectors and
  spliced them together with JB Weld to achieve
  the proper pin-count.

  Sorry, not gold plated. Not crimped either . . . ran
  out of those pins about 15 years ago. However,
  I've used this technique at least twice to get
  one of these vintage radios up and running. You're
  welcome to a 1-1/2 12-pin connectors (pictured)
  to take a whack at this fix. Keeping half of
  a connector on hand will allow me to offer this
  fix at least one more time.

Ebay is always worth a look.
Molex edge connector

My permanent solution, for experimental applications, is a soldering iron, some milspec wire, and a subD connector.
