Anyone identify these electrical connectors?

Trying to identify this type of connector so can make up an adapter for 12 VDC power using two of the pins.
The pin size is about 1/16" and the thread OD is about 15/16".
These are cables for my Johnson machine laser receiver.
Anyone care to hazard a guess?

I think you can get them at Digikey. A GREAT company to do business with. I bought some for the servos on a CNC press brake. I am having a hard time thinking of the name.

EDIT: Looking in an old catalogue. I don't know how I ever found the right connector. I have no doubt they have yours, but there are hundreds of styles. I would send one of their techs your pictures. 1-800-344-4539

OR, you could just go on line and try and find it on their site. I don't have the patience for that myself.

Why does the female have 7 holes and the male 4 pins?

Ummm, because they are 2 completely different cables on this equipment?

We call that style Molex after the company that first made them. You need to find out the diamters of the pins, spacing, etc and you can start to pin it down better.
