Post one of them uncoupled, so we can see the internal construction and pinout orientation.

At present all you can look for is circular locking connector.

Expensive connectors, and you order as kits of parts....

but they are pretty rugged and really good at their job.

I have use this brand in industrial rack in the past.

I checked as well the original connector from the keithley spare part list and cost about $500 in the US and I'm not willing to pay that.

In the worst case I will replace the connector with 2 high quality binding post with copper/beryllium.
