Does anyone know where one might obtain the plugs that go into the "prove power" sockets available on many Agilent spectrum analyzers and network analyzers? (Even Tektronix had a few models with this option.) I've done some Googling, and found a few other people asking, but no thread resulting in someone saying, "yes, I found one, this is it..." -- at best someone said it's a Lemo FFA.0S.304.CLAC42 plug, but from looking at Lemo's catalogs this doesn't seem correct (for starters, the past listed there has 4 pins...).
I'd love to be able to provide power to some homebrew probes from this common connector...
Thanks,

Up until today I hadn't realized that Tek used 4 pins and HP used 3.
The connector that goes on the end of cable (with female contacts) is actually in 2 pieces, and both parts happen to be set up in the Agilent parts system.
Probe Power cable connectors:
5060-0466 - female connector assembly
5040-0494 - sleeve, female connector
The actual contacts and solder connections are on the first part, the second part number is a plastic sleeve that screws onto the connector to cover up the wire connections.
You can see a picture of the first part by visiting:

and yes, this is not an inexpensive connector.. !
There are some preassembled cables, like 87405-60001, but as you can see, this cable has only 2 wires, not all three.
