Molex probably has a similar line but after not finding a product that 
exactly matched what I had in my Corsair II, I decided to take another 
run at the archives with a couple of different search terms. I finally 
found this posting from 2004:

I found the AMP ones at Mouser and they match exactly what I have in my 
radio. Thanks Bob for the reply and all the other emails suggesting 
different manufacturers. I had a couple guessing AMP but couldn't figure 
out the model number. I decided to repost the message from 2004 above in 
case anyone else goes looking for them in the archives.

Thanks !!!
