I am having difficulties in identifying a plug/socket type, and if
anyone can help would they also know where these can be obtained?
I am in the UK and have spent some time looking online, however, no
luck so far.
There are 2 pictures at

My first time posting here (or Flickr) so I hope it makes sense.
Thanks for any help you may be able to give.

pictures don't show any connectors, or they are so small as to be
invisible.
[added x-post to sci.electronics.components]
I've seen connectors like that on interwiring between boards inside old
television and VCR sets, maybe Philips or Sony. Looking in my junk pile
I found one connector made by Pressac, but doing a search today on that
just reveals catalogues for their telecoms and data products.
What's the distance between the pins? Also, if an manfacturing mark or
name can't be identified from the body how about desoldering it? Might
be detailed underneath.

Hi,
I tried the link myself and it seems OK, however I have added another
picture of just the (fried) plug & socket. I hope this is now clearer.

There are no markings that I can find, but it is badly burnt. It is a
6-way plug, with 1 terminal burnt away.
The distance between the pins is about 5.5mm and the 2 wider spaced
pins are about 8.0mm.
For those interested this is from an industrial dish washing machine
made in Italy. The make is Colged. The parts are not available from
the manufacturer.
I am told it is four to five years old, looks like tin solder so could
be right.

Link works for me. Have you ascertained the cause of the failure? Any
reason you can't hardwire that or replace the board mounted plug/socket
with a flying connector?
The board is not mine, trying to help someone out, really. The cause
of the failure is as yet undetermined, the contacts on 2 of the relays
connected to the burnt plug have been arcing, and one of the
fuseholders is burnt from the heat of the burning plug. I did not get
a look at the fuses.
It could be a poor contact on the plug/socket that caused the burning.
Poor solder joint?
If it were mine I would do as you suggest and replace it with
something different, the owner would like it as original. It may well
have to be substituted if the machine is to be got working again.

The owner needs to be less mule-like on this. The 'as original'
condition was the precursor to its current failed state.
That is NOT worth revisiting.

What's it from ? Washing machine maybe ? If so, I'd just nip round to my
local electrical shop where they repair washing machines, and see if they've
got a scrap board with the same connector on that they would let you have
for a couple of quid.
