Looking to find 8 pin Mini-Din conectors

I am looking for 8Pin mini-Din male connectors. To attempt to make my own cables. For FX PLC's the ones I have been seeing the pins are not the same and are too fat. Would really like to find a mini din with the cable already on it lol

I have a lot of customers that buy our standard cables and just cut off one end and change the configuration

Just buy these https://www.plccable.com/mitsubishi-plc-cable-sc11-sc-11-melsec/

Cut off the DB9 and put on your own DB9 with the pinout you need

At least they are cheap

I used in the past dozens like the link to connect to a FX PLC

If memory serves me correctly (which is not always a given anymore ) That is a proprietary Rockwell part. In my past life the company I worked for tried to build our own cables for connecting our products to MicroLogix and we couldn't even buy them from Rockwell. We did find a vendor who was willing to sell us the connectors (they made cheap copies) but it was cheaper to buy a cable from Rockwell and cut it than it was to buy just the connector. Rockwell's argument was that because the MicroLogix had 24VDC coming out of the port that they didn't want someone building their own cables unless they really knew what they were doing and to be fair I've seen people smoke an older 1000 by grounding the 24VDC output by miss-applying the cable used for powering a NET-AIC.

Digi-Key is a good source for this kind of stuff.
