I am looking for a somewhat similar connector. I am not sure if it's AMP 
or Molex, but I suspect it's one or the other.

It has 5 pins in a straight line. The pins look to be the normal 0.093" 
ones. The face of the socket housing looks a bit like this : 

  
 /o\

That is, 5 pins in a line, with one end of the housing pointed for 
polarisation. 

It's used to connect the mains switch (in the keyboard assembly to the 
PSU harness in the HP9810 and HP9820 calculators. I want a plug housing 
and pins so I can make up a jumper plug to power up the machine with the 
keyboard totally removed. Unfortuately the HP service manual is a 
boardswapper guide and doesn't include any details of this connector (it 
comes as part of the complete keyboard assembly).

Does anyone recognise it and/or know of a source.
