    What are these called?

    Hi, I'm in the process of putting together a new "R" or rotational axis for my table. I plan to fire this axis off the supply to the X axis of the table when I use it.
    The stepper motor I'm planning to use is a Pacific Scientific M22 that has an 8 pin straight plug. I want to have a "pigtail" off the motor so I can easily switch back and forth between the X axis and the "R" or rotational axis. Can anyone tell me the 'tradename' or number of this male plug so I don't look completely stupid when I go into Radio Shack or another supply house looking for one?
    Thanks

    It's two separate parts. Amp 641653-8 and 643077-8. You won't find them at RS. Check Digikey or Mouser.

    Thanks, If it's going to be that much hassle, I might just solder a cable on to the motor connections and use a more common plug connector on the other end. Got bigger headaches with the software right now. Thanks.

    A quick and dirty fix I have used is to wire wrap 28 or 30 ga. wire on the pins. Works good and there is no solder mess. You can pick up a hand wrap tool for about $20- $30 at Fry's or Digikey or Mouser. Tool # WSU-30 from OK Industries.
    I used to be appalled, now I'm just amused.
