The type is 8 pin Foster connector. I don't know if the UK has a different name for it. Hi Lee, Known as a "locking line socket 8-way" in one of the main component supplier's catalogue in the UK. Not heard the term Foster used in the UK though presume that may be the Japanese microphone manufacturer who may have been the originator. They are a socket rather than a plug as that plug part is mounted on the K2 or whatever transceiver uses this type of connector. Despite this are commonly referred to as an 8 way mic plug. Still prefer them by a long way to the RJ45 connector that has just about become standard for anything used mobile.
