Seacam Strobe Connector Help!!

Some kind of Molex connector? Maybe some profile photos and face on might give more insight? You might be able to contact customer support at molex.

Thanks Chris. I will start there.
For some reason I could only upload one picture

Look for any tiny markings or writing molded into the connector. I used to work for Molex, and all our connectors had the part number molded into them, but it can be REALLY tiny.

Great tip
Thanks so much:)

I actually looked at it with a dissecting microscope.. no joy. I am guessing it is NOT Molex, perhaps something European.
The only marking on it was an L which seems to indicate the side and a 6 indicating the number of pins.
I will pick Pavels brains at UW Technics, since it mates with a connector on his TTL board.

Likely that's a Pin 1 and Pin 6 identifier, which is common.
If the mating connector is just a strip of pins, you may be able to measure their pin size and pitch, and find a compatible connector/terminal setup.

You might find it here: https://www.futureelectronics.com/c/interconnect/connectors-pcb--header-plug-wire-mount/products?q=%3Arelevance&text=&pageSize=100
or somewhere else on that website, but that would only get you a part number to search for unless you wanted to buy 100, then you need a crimper to attach to your cable.
