If you can remove the snap ring holding the plastic insert in place, you can
remove and rotate it. If this is a problem, send it to me and I will either
fix or send you a correct one. I have a stock of the bits and pieces that
make these up.

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

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,
