[GreenKeys] Current Loop Connector

[Ralph Mowery]

After seeing a pix of th connector, it is similar to many connectors on the instruments where I worked.  The mating connector usually  had screws on it that held the wires to the removable plug.
This general type of connector is very common in industry.

    If I open the case there are no screws on the connector. This is what it looks like: http://sdrv.ms/UdqZZn

  A picture is worth a thousand words.
  My apologies on the assumption. The drawing of the back panel in
  the manual was a bit vague, 
  It doesn't help that the manufacturer lists screw terminals as the
  connections in their specification page.

  I believe I found the connector shown in your picture.

  And the mating connectors for it.

  Which explains why they refer to it as a "5-position screw terminal."
  These are screw type terminal as the connection to a plug that mates
  with the chassis connector.
