If you are talking about the connector on the control head then you can try EFJ and ask for part number 515-1009-025. That is the part number for the part inserted into the control head at assembly.
If you are talking about the connector on the mic cord then you are better off replacing the entire cord. The part number for that is 597-2002-255.
I don't know if they carry these now that they contract manufacture their radios. In the old days when they made all of their equipment you could buy damn near anypart you wanted from 'em. Times have changed though....

You can order the parts for the connector from Digikey. I bought a few to make up programming cables. they're about 7$ each in small quantity. Keep in mind that the pins are a seperate part #.

Also, you will need to have or have access to an Amp or Hirose pin crimper, doing these with Pliers is a pain.

Thank you both, but the connector i need, in this case is the cord of the DTMF microfone,
the EFJohnson part number you are saying is the normal cable, is there any chance you have the part # of the cable for the DTMF mic?
