Now that Lynx has stopped selling cabling for the Sharp IR, I am looking for either another source for the cable or a source (and a name) for the connector on the sensor. I found some kind of name, and looked in Digi-Key, but it looks like the name I had was fairly generic, as there appeared to be many connectors with that name.
Wait, I’m confused.
Isn’t this the cable for the Sharp IR sensor?

When exactly did they stop selling them? 
Hmmm, maybe I was mistaken. The last time I ordered some, which was about two or three months ago, I tried to order something like a dozen, but was told that they would be discontinued and they only had nine remaining. I bought the nine.
Perhaps they have not stopped selling them, in which case this question was kind of pointless.
perhaps they were just going out of stock 
anyways, glad there not gone! 
They are not out of stock, or even limited on the website. We have several hundred on the shelf, and another 2500 on the way.
