connectoridentification
Found on an early 90's JVC stereo: 2 rows, 11 pins, the two rows are horizontally displaced against each other, kind of like a SUB-D connector. However, the pins are neither round, nor quadratic but bars.
The pitch is 3mm (horizontally) by 2mm (between rows)
Your help is greatly appreciated.
I managed to identify the connector after exhaustive searching of various suppliers through all 0.8mm pitch connectors. It is a member of the Hirose MQ172X Series with the 4-pin SMT receptacle being a Hirose part number MQ172X-4PA. After locating the part number it is widely available from Element 14, Digikey, Mouser etc.
Rather than make a custom PCB for a one-off I've ordered a couple of DFN-8 to DIP-12 SMT adapters from Proto Advantage (part number IPC0065) that I'll cut in half to mount the connectors to.
That connector family is called the Mate-n-Lok series. They are great power connectors and have been around for years. They come in two general sizes, the Mini type and the standard or Universal series.
Here is a link to the Mouser catalogue page for the Mini.
Your two pin is hard to tell from the picture if it is the universal or the mini.
This is the one you are probably after:

I have seen similar on OEM GPS modules (inside car radios), medical lab instruments (blood drop analyser) and bank note acceptors (in vending machines).
They were all IDC type onto ribbon cable and most had a projecting plastic key pin on one end. I seem to remember either the plugs or sockets being red in colour often.
The ones I am thinking or are called Micro-MaTch and may be a variant though do not exhibit the zig-zag insulator characteristic.
