I used to buy that Molex connector from Radio Shack but had to
buy both male and female parts. Radio Shack put male pins in
female housing and reverse.
If it is the same plug as is used on the Little Tar Heel Antenna
control cable, it is:

Which may be the same as:

For the Little Tar Heel, the pins are .062:, 1.57mm in diameter.
Since it took me a long time to figure out how these connectors
worked, here is what I have learned.
The connectors consist of a male and female shell with 4 metal
pins each. The pins are also male and female. You order the pins
separately from the shells. There is a handy tool for removing
the pins from the shells.
There are many different shells available, with different
numbers and arrangements of pins. There are other series of
connectors using different sizes of pins. (A larger pin is used
for the power connector on Icom/Kenwood/etc. radios. Getting it
all right before you order is a bit of chore.
