Nick identified this connector for me some time ago, and another list
member (Paul Wills) provided me this link, which is still valid today:

I bought a couple of these, and (somewhere) found a couple of their
male counterparts, to be able to plug in my paper winder and LPR.  I
can't find a link for the male plugs, I think I got those on eBay or
similar, as Nick suggested.

I _really_ like this connector, it's an excellent design.  I'm disappointed
that it's not used in more places!
