Can anyone tell me where I can find a plug to fit this aux power socket in my bulldog?

Nexus is owned by Amphenol. I know nothing about Bulldogs, but although it's got 28V aux power written on it, it looks astonishingly like a TJ-120 rear-mount jack or a variation thereof. IF that's the case, then the plug would be something along the lines of a TP-101/102/120.
But I really hope someone here has better info than me!

This does look like the NATO Headset connection. Old UK PO connector also.
Could the ext power label be a red herring....
Is it possible to look behind the panel, to see the wiring on the socket.

Ok I admit I am blonde! They must be the original NATO connector sockets that have been 're-allocated' after the Dog was converted to civi use. Why I didn't twig I'll never know, been using NATO comms kit for years!

Just what current load, will this socket support, are the contacts break before make, etc.
I am assuming a 28v lorry battery trickle charger, connected thru the socket.

I will be drawing about 250ma through it. It has a 2 amp CB inline.
