  • Minelab GPX-5000 battery 5 pin plug

    Does someone has the exact type/name of the 5 pin connector used in the Minelab GPX-5000 battery? I want to buy some connectors to build a custom cable but I can only find other types of connectors, because the Minelab one is male in the cable side and female in the control box side.
    I usually search for "GX-16 5 pin make connector reversed" to find these, but if someone has a better name for it, may be it will be easier for me to find he exact component.

    Thanks.

              Thank you, but the ones I need have a slightly different format:

                  thank you, it is eactly that, although I am searching only for the connectors (I want to make a shorter cable). I can reuse the ones I have, but I would like to keep some spares.

                    I bought it, I think really it is the GX-16 (16mm diameter on the thread) and around 12.5mm in the socket.
                    I will tell you if it works when it arrives. Thanks

                        Heat shrink tubing, I assume.

                          Try searching with these keywords:

                          Heat shrink dual wall or thick wall

                            Here is the short cable I built. The correct connectors are those ( https://pt.aliexpress.com/item/1005007358415419.html - GX16 5 pin reversed), although I reused the original ones that where in good condition.

                            I used high voltage heat shrink (they have a thick wall).

                            Thanks all for the help.​
