They're called "military connectors". I think I've also seen them
listed as "M connectors", which makes sense. It's easier to find
something you know the name of :-)

You might try Mouser Electronics (which brings back many memories to
the old time electronics buffs out there) If it exists, they
probably have it.

BTW I don't like military connectors, at least when used with 1/4"
adaptors (and I don't want to start making up custom cables - 1. 1/4"
plugs pull out when stepped on, and 2. when you yank the end off your
last cable, you're stuck). I find them unreliable unless you
regularly add solder to the center "button". If you know a "fix",
I'd appreciate it.
