[Premium-Rx] Icom R9500 DC power connector?

Folks,

I apologize for the out-of-the-blue posting; I think I last posted  
here something like 2 years ago.

Does anyone know what the DC power connector for the Icom IC-R9500  
receiver is?  It looks ALMOST, but not exactly, like catalog photos  
I've found for the Molex SABRE 18A 3 pin female connector, but I'm not  
sure.  Icom doesn't sell it and doesn't seem to know what it is.  I'm  
trying to locate a source for a couple of connectors (with or without  
a fused cable; I'm not picky at this point) so I can run my receivers  
off an external 12V system rather than their internal AC power  
supplies, and I've been banging my head up against what I'd think  
would be a very simple question for weeks now.

The R9500 comes with such a connector, but it's configured as a 2 pin  
jumper (required when using the internal AC supply) rather than as an  
external connector, so salvaging the jumper is not really a viable  
option.

Any help or pointers to solid information or sources would be greatly  
appreciated.  If it's in fact the Molex SABRE that's great; I think I  
can order those from DigiKey, but as I said, it doesn't look exactly  
like the catalog photos I found for that connector.

Thanks!
