Re: European circular connectors -- US sources?

Jan,
If a Heidenhain encoder has a DIN connector it wasn't
put on there by Heidenhain. I did a google search for
Heidenhain connector and found out that they are
called "m23" connectors -- apparently due to their
size.
They look like this:

Phoenix Contact apparently makes them which probably
means I could get them through an American
distributor, but they have no online catalog for these
connector types.

They are primarily metal and plastic, but of
considerably cheaper
construction
than mil-std connectors. I was wondering if anyone
knew U.S. sources
of these
connectors,<<
Would these be "DIN connectors"? Kinda a
'sheet-metal' cover with
'rotate
90� to lock-on', with 5 and 8 pins?

Radio Shack (Tandy) has those! Different "grades",
too! Machined and
gold-plated, as I recall.
