MATE-N-LOK 8p flat connector availability

[Don North]

FYI,

I was looking for the old AMP MATE-N-LOK 8p flat connector with the tongue
(now out of production) and found a source.

State Electronics (http://www.state-elec.com) has them available, the 
AMP part
number is 1-480460-0. I bought 100pcs at US$0.75/ea (a pretty decent price,
I had been quoted up to $3.00 each by another vendor).

These connectors are used in old DEC equipment for the 20ma interfaces, for
the BA11-K box power module connections, and on some front panels (11/70).

Just thought I'd pass this along, as they are now out of production and 
hard to find.
The other matrix (6p, 9p, 12p, 15p) are still in production and widely 
available.
