Can anyone identify this power connector type?

Does anyone know if the power connector in the attached image is a generic type, or is it likely proprietary?

I may be using it in an upcoming project and since it only carries 5v it would be nice to know if its easy enough to convert a normal power supply (such as a PSP one) to it.

Thanks for any info.

Looks like an S-Video plug to me.

My Monitor has that type of connector for Power

Its purely to carry power, two of the pins are +5v, two are ground.

It's a DIN connector.

Edit: 4 pin mini-DIN to be specific.

I was just editing my post btw, realised what forum I was in . . . Oops . . .

Anyway, it doesnt look like any mini-din pinout that I can find. Its very similar, but doesnt look like mini-din (s-video).

Is mini0din, clearly different im afraid . . . Looks proprietary to me.
Where iss it from?

I don't have one to hand and the whitepages I have don't show a specific diameter, but measuring it puts it at around 10mm diameter on the outer circular area.

I think it likely proprietary which is a shame, I was hoping it would be easier to find more supplies for it.

EDIT just saw justins post and that does look like it. Thanks for that, I'll take a look around for more on it.

Ah, I see what you did there . . .

Ive had a quick scout about, and while the Mini-DIN is common, that type isnt, I think Justin found the only reference to it

. Really need a part number or similar for a better search. Or maybe phone up the power supply manufacturer and request the details?

Yeah, I think I'll have to drop the company an email, which is a pain since they have so far been particularly slow to answer questions I have put to them.
