Newark wants a fortune.  Can get one on Ebay for about $25.

I bought that 3-pin Amphenol-style connector from Newark Electronics around 8 or so years ago. It was a stock catalog item then, and perhaps it still is.Go to their website and take a look. IIRC,  it was no longer made by Amphenol, but some other company, but the fit and finish were just as good as the OEM Amphenol connector. Good luck!73,Bruce, W2XR Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

Well.....Never Mind. I know I used to have one hooked up to my SBE but Iconverted over to using the 600 ohm audio lines some time back. I thoughtthe mic connector was still hanging around here somewhere, but I can't findit - maybe I sold it at a hamfest for a few bucks.
