Does anyone where i can buy a 2 pin plug and lead. Rang them up and they wanted 100quid. I thought they were taking the pee . All advice please.
I think it’s an Amphenol 2-pin Mini plug, but it’s a bit hard to see the shell clearly from the photo. Any other pics with dimensions? See example here.

These can be got in different variations - overmolded with the cable or field (not literally) terminated with a nut secured against the cable. Yours looks like it’s over-moulded and I think bayonet.

Once plugged to the unit, does it secure via bayonet rotate locking or threaded/screw down?

I got an extra one free when I bought our black box, along with a patch receiver. 100 notes is bonkers.
 
The pin holes are roughly 3mm apart. And u turn the collar about 180 to not it in place. View attachment 704994
Thanks for the update. So it’s definitely bayonet locking, but to be honest I’m not certain it’s an Amphenol Mini A connector...

The Amphenol connector diameter of the inside ‘barrel’ (surrounding the contacts) is 7mm. The diameter of the locking collar is a smidge over 15mm. Yours look a bit narrower than that.

Also the Amphenol connector should have ‘ALTW’ stamped into the side of the plastic body.
 
Yes its around 7 mm. How do i buy one. Had a look on there website. But cant see anything about buying it
Hopefully if it is an Amphenol mini size A connector, then the one linked below you can terminate on your own cable. It’s bit chunkier at the cable end because of the gland/locknut, but is relatively cheap at around £9

All the versions that have the connector molded on to a length of cable, seem to be out of stock. Shame because they’re only a few quid more.
