Beware.

The MITE came in at least a couple of different models, some for marines 
some for other folks, some for airborne use, some for 115 volt 400 cycle, 
some for 28 volts and so on. In any case, the connector arrangement on the 
back differs among models.  In one case there is one connector that carries 
power and signals. In another case, there are two connectors, one for power 
and one for signals.  If I remember correctly, neither uses the more common 
MS connectors but rather uses a connector of another sort. These are not 
easy to find.

My notes include the following:
"The TT-299B/UG has a 12-pin male connector thus needing the female 
connector on the cable side. Mite AN/UGC-38, 40 and 41 use one 5 pin female 
cable for power and one 10 pin female cable for signal. "

" The connector on the Mite is 165-11 and thus the one on the cable must be 
165-10."  (I presume this is the 12-pin one but am not sure, and I think 
the manufacturer was Amphenol.)

Newark lists the Amphenol 165-10 cable connector and will sell you one for $85.

Its entirely possible that Wm Perry has one for you at a more reasonable price.

Lastly, I have two Mites, one with the 12-pin chassis mount connector and 
no cable, and one with it's connector(s?) removed and wires cobbled in to 
make it work.  If there shows up a source of the 12-pin 165-10 cable mount 
connector at a reasonable price, I might buy one, but getting these things 
running is a very low priority for me.
