[time-nuts] HP 5065A power connector (Amphenol MS-3106A-18-22S) change?

[Matt Huszagh]

I ordered an Amphenol MS-3106A-18-22S power connector for use with an HP
5065A (I think this connector is also used for the
5061A/B). Unfortunately, the location of the slot relative to the pins
differs on the new version versus the old one (see attached image). Note
that the new connector shows 18-22 instead of 18-22S. However, I ordered
a 22S and the retaining nut has 22S printed on it.

Has anyone encountered this issue? Did Amphenol change the specs of this
part? Or, did I order the wrong part? If so, what's the correct part to
order? Is there perhaps a way to rotate the insert so the relative
position of the connection pins and slot is the same as before?

FYI I ordered from this link:

Thanks,
Matt
