AMP connector from the eighties

[fabiodl]

I am searching for the name of this connector. Pitch is 2 mm. It was used by Nintendo in the eighties. It reports AMP, but the only 2mm pitch connector now available from TE AMP seems the CT series, which does not look like this. Does anyone know how this (probably discontinued) connector was called?

How is a basically unfiltered list of 500 random connectors helpful?!?

If you filter by pitch, being generous and choosing close values (1.9, 1.91, 2.2) there are exactly 0 connectors for 5 and 6 positions.

I guess it is really a matter of finding out someone who was born and already into electronics in that time period, and happens to have used that connector / saw it in paper catalogues

Nothing random about it. Use the filters to narrow it down. It may or may not be in there bu tis a start. Go to all the main catalog vendors sites and drill down. Or email AMP?

How is it NOT random? It’s a mix of all sorts of connectors. It doesn’t help the OP at all.

Was it just intended as “look at the TE website”? Because that’s really all you managed to do, but the OP clearly had already done that.

I’ll be the first to say that TE’s website is an abysmal parody of a real website, to the point of being essentially useless, so the OP’s efforts may have been for nought, but the same basically applies to your link.

Anyhow, my point is this: the OP here clearly does know how to search for connectors, so explaining “try searching the manufacturer and distributor websites” is just insulting them.
