Need to identify the brand and model of a Molex-style connector.
color: black
8 pin connector: 21mm x 11.5
The pitch is approximately 4.33mm ( I measured with a caliper across 4 pins and got 13.03mm )
I have male and female 6 and 8 pin Molex mini-fit Jr. connectors and they do not fit with 6 or 8 pin connectors from the unknown brand.
The pitch of the unknown connector is very close if not the same as the Molex mini-fit Jr. but the row spacing is not the same.
The row spacing on the unknown connector is larger than the row spacing on the Molex mini-fit Jr.
I was able to locate one number on the 8 pin male connector: MX 30067 4
I remeasured the pitch and got 12.5 across four pins.
That puts the pitch at ~4.16mm.
The row spacing is ~5.5mm.
The male pins of the unknown connector are larger than the male pins of the Molex mini-fit Jr. connectors.
This is an industrial application in a 2006 Haas OM-2A vertical mill.
The location is on the I/O board.
Edit: It appears the part number is 23-0015975081-ND. I missed this originally as I had filtered out the parts that were not currently stocking.
Hello dkhackney,
Welcome to the DigiKey TechForum! I’ve looked through our catalog for some items that might work, and I was not able to find anything that matches exactly. My concern is that this connector may be a proprietary one, as the pictures you provided show some keying on the connectors that is non-standard for a COTS part. It’s possible that you’d be able to use a standard plug without the straight key, but you may run into the same issue that you did with the mini-fit Jr.
Unfortunately I am unable to find anything that will work with the keying, but it’s possible I might have missed something. The list that contains the closest connectors with the closest attributes to what you provided can be found below.

Thanks for the ID
I need the 6 pin connector
Can you provide a link to a comparable, in-stock, 6 pin product?
Thanks
The 6 pin version would be part 23-0015975061-ND. Unfortunately this too is not available as it is in obsolete status. In looking for something comparable, it appears that the issue is the row spacing. We do have stocking parts with the smaller row spacing, but none with the desired row spacing.
Part A114442-ND is orderable and has the proper row spacing however the 4,000 minimum order quantity might be an issue.

The Molex Mini Fit Comparison one pager includes “Mini-Fit TPA2” connectors.
When I use “Molex Mini-Fit TPA2” in a search I am getting in-stock hits.
Can you please help me to narrow down the results to a matching 6-pin plug?
Thanks
It looks like the TPA2 is not going to work.
The row pitch is 4.20mm

Hello,
These are the closest matches I found.
You might have to replace both the header and the mate.
Thanks for the help
For future reference, these are the Molex part page and the female crimp terminal page
