I need 4-8 of these.....they plug into WbB DCRU boards. The WbB units came with these plugs in the past but no longer do.....I looked for '4 pin socket' but millions different ones come up.....do these things have a name or part number???? Where might I find some??? Thanks

Is PITCH the distance between pins??? I see that in description of plugs/connectors.

Mine is 10.66 mm  wide

          4.32 mm   thick

         2.20 mm  between pins holes

         6.00 mm deep

 

Any help would be great.....long search of net got nothing....

I doubt those are 2.54mm pitch connectors if he's measuring 2.20mm between the pins.  I'm assuming this is center to center measurement?

 

FWIW, in reference to the eBay listing, there are MANY connectors that have almost the exact same form factor, but there are differences in the housings and pin spacing.

More than likely my error. I set my calipers to 2.54 and compared them to the one plug I have. Pins at 2.54 would work.....doubt I was measuring right.....we'll see. My fine vision is weak at best.....so not my strong suit!

UPDATE!!!!

I ordered these connectors off ebay linked below. I got them today in the mail. They are an EXACT fit for WbB DCRU reverse boards. I contacted  Bachmann about these connectors and while they were included in the DCRU kit at one time they are no long included and they do not, at this time, sell them separately.  BUT....Bachmann called me after I left a message on their machine and together we went through their parts catalog looking for the item. So their service, and parts available was great!!

 

So if you need a set get these....I will order another set as I like the WbB DCRU and they are in stock again. THAKS for the help!!!
