Doing a search for “AMP+” stamped on the connector leads me to the [TE.com](http://TE.com) website where the connector is prominently displayed. (Black connector on the upper left) [https://www.te.com/usa-en/products/brands/amp.html?tab=pgp-story](https://www.te.com/usa-en/products/brands/amp.html?tab=pgp-story) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/digikey/original/3X/c/c/cc10ea0094b19c0ee1015d67f6a325a0df1cee9f.jpeg) _But they can’t seem to identify it, even though they manufacture it!_ It’s been used in our products for at least 10+ years, and is still being used. So I’m looking for leads. The tech called it a “flange” connector. So, where do I start? Thanks ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/digikey/original/3X/c/c/cc10ea0094b19c0ee1015d67f6a325a0df1cee9f.jpeg) ---

Hello, Thank you for contacting the Digi-Key Technical Forum. Well looking withou any additional information , I am not finding anything. Can you tell me what the inside looks like? Is theer any pins? If there is how many? If there are pins , what is the pin spacing? What is this connector being used for? If this is coming out of something, it might be a custom connector. I am not sure as I had no luck doing a generic search. Most likely if this is coming out of an automobile, it is custom. Let me know if you can get a better picture , or any other information. I sure was not able to find anything. ---

Hello, and thanks. I sent a direct reply. Two rows of 7 pins/connectors. Not automotive, it’s used on projector lenses and in the projector body (User-removable lenses). It’s designed to mate with itself when turned 180 degrees. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/digikey/original/3X/d/1/d1ae613ae5a9a9b5b30e8de53cb29d3d7ab3da4b.jpeg) ---

@john.meehan Would you be able to measure the center-to-center contact distance(pitch) those contacts would have? Would you be able to remove the one shown in the above image and show the back of that connector in detail? ---

Hey, I think I found it. It’s an AMP “drawer” connector TE’s part number is 5-292177-1 ---

Hi john.meehan. I agree, you are correct. I looked at [5-292177-1](https://www.te.com/usa-en/product-5-292177-1.html) on the manufacturer’s website and it appears to be the same as your connector. Good catch! Be sure to take a look at the drawing just to be sure the measurements line up with your connector. ---

It’s easy once you know what it is. 😉 So, next question - do you carry it? Thanks ---
