Elusive plug

[leitmotif]

We are unable to find a male and female plug to meet our needs. Hoping one of you may have an idea where to look.

Unit will be incorporated into a product we are developing. UL and CSA would be nice. Product will be on floor and subject to some abuse ie stepped on kicked etc.

The product is only 5/16 inch thick so a male mounted in the body of the product cannot be more than 1/4 thick.

Female would be on cord end.

Prefer soldered connections not crimped.
Need 5 conductors
two for power - max 24 VDC and 15 amp
three for signal / control ie RTD

Thanks for any inspiration

Pigtail to a cord mounted connector?

1/4" thick is tough...

Perhaps something like this?

If not, look around at other Tyco parts. They make a bunch of fairly rugged mini and micro connectors.

ETA: Ech... 15 Amp?
You might just need to go with a standard Phoenix type header and connector for that kind of power, and multiple contacts as well.
