FWIW, that looks like aviation equipment (gov't or civil), with a
locking connector.

That stuff is designed for minimum size and weight. You might find the
inside of the box quite cramped.

Buying aviation parts is even more expensive than buying boat parts.

Pretty sure that connector is an off the shelf Amphenol part. If you
can't find it, however, you can replace it with an off the shelf one
that will fit in the same hole. (If your lucky, you can even re-use the
pins.)

The replacement will run you about $30-40 for the pair, chassis and
plug. Check Mouser, etc.
