What is the name of this wire connector?

Hey,
I need to know what the connector on this wire is called.
I don't need the same of the whole wire, just that one peice.
It's the black end and plugs into the XHA1, not the component end.

Here's a pic:

Thanks

It's commonly referred to as a D-Terminal.

Not sure, since that's a really small pic and it doesn't look like the same component cable supplied with the A1, but if you're talking about the A1's connection it's called a D4 connector.

Actually I think it's a D5. If it were D4 it would carry only 720p, but a D5 carries 1080p, which is what the XH series moves over component.

[edit:] Okay, here's everything you need to know about that connector:

Except, I guess, where to buy... hmm.

Well, knowing what it's called is half the battle. Can't do an internet search on"well, it's a thingie about so wide with five pins and a couple RCA plugs on on the other end."

Chris, I was just going by what B&H had for the description of the cable.

I was looking at that picture posted the other day again and it's funny how one day you look at something & see it differently the nest time around. At first I didn't think that was the right component cable for the A1. It's the orientation of the connector that threw me the first time. Strange how the brain works :D

The monitor I have is in japanese, kinda like this - http://pic.srv6.wapedia.mobi/thumb/6...at=jpg,png,gif

Instead of D4, it says D2.

Can anyone find a link for a D2 wire?

If I plug the XH into a D2, will it receive the signal?

D2 supports only 480p resolution. It won't accept 1080p. However, you can set the XH A1
to downconvert to 480i over component video output, so this shouldn't be a problem.
