Radio power plug

Asking for a buddy who is not near a HMMWV right now and my "goto" guy at work has left for the day...

Does anyone know exactly what the socket where the power cable to the radio plugs into looks like? Buddy who called is working up a deal for some cables, but needs to make sure that they will plug into the truck...

Obviously, I don't have a HMMVW handy either...

For example, both the M38 and M37 could have a power plug installed that consisted of a cable that had leads that attached to the frame and the high battery positive post that was then routed to a standard location on the vehicle that provided a place to plug in the radio setup. The end where the cable from the radio power supply plugged in was a three pin connector...

I'd like to know dimensions and a part number for the plug if possible.

TIA

The "radio power cable" has terminal ends that go right on the battery cable post clamps, them the other end plugs right into the radio mount. There are several lengths, and some small differences inbetween the SINCGARS cable and the VRC 12 series one. This is an example of a SINCGARS one.. http://cgi.ebay.com/20-Power-Cable-...sPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting

If that doesnt work, check ebay Item# 190063121180
Let me knbow if you need more help.

I got the SINCGARS system installed in my M998, and when I was in the Army, I installed dozens of them.

OK, so they are bassically combining two cables (the M37/38 style setup) with one single cable... Thanks.
I think that will pretty much answer his question.
