Chuck, there's not enough information above to determine what you are seeking.  

1.  Is it the *plug* to which the cable wiring is soldered (which is female), or the *socket* mounted on the rack (which is male)?

2.  Is it really an AN/ARC-5 rack, or is it actually an ATA or SCR-274-N rack?  People often use "ARC-5" to refer to any command set, but there are many incompatibilities which prevent AN/ARC-5 transmitter components from being interchangable with ATA or SCR-274-N equivalents.  The 12-pin connector is one of them.

3.  There are two sockets/plugs on the rear of the transmitter rack.  Are you referring to the 12-pin connector (to modulator), or the 6-pin connector (to the antenna relay)?

Below are the designations of these components.  Four-digit numbers are A.R.C. model numbers.  Numbers in parentheses are open wiring plugs.  The plugs for the ATA and SCR-274-N are interchangable.  The 12-pin AN/ARC-5 plug and socket are NOT interchangable with the 12-pin connectors of the other two sets.  Unfortunately, if you have an AN/ARC-5, its 12-pin plug is much harder to find than the 12-pin plug for the other two sets.

                 ATA       SCR-274-N         AN/ARC-5
12-pin Plug      6964   PL-154 (PL-154-A)   9377 (9589)  
12-pin Socket    7025         7025             9417

 6-pin Plug      6967   PL-156 (PL-156-A)   6967 (9124)
12-pin Socket    7023         7023             7023

Your request is more complicated than you probably guessed.
