Mouser always carried AMP/Tyco, which is what I had been buying.

Another source for these is Stewart Connector / Bel Fuse.

940-SP-3066-OST, 6P6C, offset tab, flat/oval cord
937-SP-3066-OST 6P6C, offset tab, round cord
937-SP-3066R-OST 6P6C, offset tab, round cord

I'd mainly been buying AMP/Tyco since they were easier to come by, but I 
guess that may soon change. I think I need to place a call to AMP this
