Electrical Connector Identification

I managed to break the charge plug for my mini Segway. It's a 4 pin round connector on a 63v 1.9a power brick.

I'm trying to locate the plug so I can solder a new one on, but don't know what it's called or what to search for. 4-pin round connector gives results, but I'm not sure the ones I need.

It looks like this;

Dunno. Not having much luck finding a 4-hole version of the plug (everyone else uses 3).

Buy the whole charger for 10 bucks:

(though you'll be waiting a while for it to arrive)

Oh, here we go...

GX16, 4-pin female, at a guess...the number after GX refers to the diameter, in MM of either the plug or the socket...

this should clarify:

Being late to the party, but it looks like a microphone connector for commercial sound equipment. Ampex , maybe.

I cut the broken 4-pin connector off and found there are only two 18 AWG wires.

I'll see if I can find a female connector that will fit the male ends on the Segway and just be careful to hook it up correctly until the 4-pin connector arrives.

EDIT- Just found this image;



I measured the male end of the connector at 11mm diameter. Since I don't see a 10mm version of the plug I'll assume it's actually 12.

I ordered a GX12 connector from Ebay, but it will probably take a month to get here from China. $1.59 shipped to my door if I'm willing to wait.

I got the connector from China already even though it was supposed to take a couple months.

Couldn't find any info on the pinout online, so I took an educated guess that pin 1 was positive, and pin 2 was negative. I was getting slight voltage off those 2 pins from the Segway and figured that meant they were the live pins.

I guessed correctly and now the thing is charging. Happy to have fixed it for $1.59.
