I need a connector for my Adcock&Shipley Bridgeport, but I don't have the foggirst idea what to search for. Can anyone ID the type for me?

These people might be able to help. Calling them on the phone is probably best.

Do you have a parts manual for the machine? Does the exploded diagram shed any light on things?

Thanks. I checked the website but it doesn't look like they stock any. And if it's special order it's really not worth it. I just need to order some parts for an electronics project, so I'm looking for additional parts to fill the order.

Sadly I don't have any documentation for the mill, and no search on "bridgeport connector" or similar has ever yielded any definitive results. Some have suggested Niphan, but I have only found those in banjo or screw, not push fit.

On my A&S made Bridgeport it says on the connector they are made by LPA. Rather to my surprise LPA are still going and are relatively close to me, in Saffron Walden.

LPA Group

The part number on my connector is X4S which is part of the LPA Niphan industrial connector range. However the push fit/panel mount version appears to be obsolete. The group as a whole seem to be heavy industrial so their products are unlikely to be stocked by distributors.

That's it! Thank you so much Andrew. It's definitively the X4S, and from what I can tell it's completely proprietary and obsolete. Guess I'll have to swap out that plug with something more current. It's a bit of a hassle but it would be nice to have a spot light wired to the control box.
