I've added a second back plane to my PDP-8/E and I need to make the D-1A-7006993-o-o power wiring harness. This cable needs a 6 pin molex connector to plug into the power supply.

Molex makes several 6 pin connectors does anyone know what the part number is for this particular connector?

I could not find that connector in any of the DEC engineering drawings that I have.

Thanks.
 
I've had success with items like that from digi-key.

15 pin for H777:-

9 pin for H740:-

This 6 pin job might even be just what you want(?):-

Apply filters for:-
Supplier = TE Connectivity AMP Connectors
Series = Commercial MATE-N-LOK
(and 6 pins)

And see what turns up. Open the data sheets, and check the measurements.

They're not expensive, so if unsure, you could order a selection.
 
That looks good. It's definitely the right one as I got the same receptacle p/n along with the plug # 1-480273-0 for making 230V versions of the 11/05 and TU60 power control boxes.
This is the plug end:
