[GreenKeys] Current Loop Connector

[Rob Jarratt]

Yes, thanks to the links people have provided I have been able to find some
of these connectors on Ebay here in the UK, so I don't have to ship them
from the US. They are indeed common once you know what to look for.

After seeing a pix of th connector, it is similar to many connectors on the
instruments where I worked.  The mating connector usually  had screws on it
that held the wires to the removable plug.

This general type of connector is very common in industry.

If I open the case there are no screws on the connector. This is what it

A picture is worth a thousand words.
My apologies on the assumption. The drawing of the back panel in
the manual was a bit vague, 
It doesn't help that the manufacturer lists screw terminals as the
connections in their specification page.

I believe I found the connector shown in your picture.

And the mating connectors for it.

Which explains why they refer to it as a "5-position screw terminal."
These are screw type terminal as the connection to a plug that mates
with the chassis connector.
