For camera instrumentation products I make, I have to pay $20/each for this
Canon proprietary N3 connector that I cannibalize off a third-party remote
gadget. Does anyone know of a source? Looks like this:

Mould your own, they're moulded on anyway it seems , in your pic. If LV then
black formulation of hot hot-melt , some pins, wire, make a plug and then
multi-mould .

Not exactly the original source, but this should be helpful:

The Yongnuo RS-C3 seems like the ideal device to butcher for the N3
connector.

Those and other cheap import units have inferior connectors that are very
unreliable. The $20 item has gold-plated spring-loaded contacts that are
reliable.
