Hi all,

I stumbled upon a 12 pin receiver that I'm not familiar with (see attached photo). Does anyone know the name of this port? Or the type of connection? I am trying to find a power cable that is compatible. The item itself is a waveguide transfer switch, and I haven't been able to get in touch with the company that manufactured this product.The goal is to control the transfer switch electrically, and it seems as though it just needs power to operate. Any suggestions for finding the connector or its name would be appreciated.

That is a MIL STD 38999 type connector. There are hundreds of variations and the spec with all attachments is over 2000 pages. There is no standard pinout for power or signals. Whatever the piece of equipment is, that connector's wiring is customized for it. In very round numbers, the fatter pins are for power that could be anything from 16 to 270 Vdc, or 85 to 270 Vac, 40 to 440 Hz.

There is normally a MS connector number marked on it around the base.
That is a Burndy, but there are few suppliers, Amp, Amphenol etc, they aren't that cheap!
