Can anyone help identify this electronics connector? This is on a medical
instrument (Topcon retinal camera, model TRC-50EX) from the 1990s:

I thought it was some custom item, but then I saw something similar to the
female side on a Motorola walkie-talkie recently.

Like Ned says, it looks like they took standard pin contacts and
molded their own plastic block for them.

I've never seen anything like that mass-produced - and I know the
Motorola connectors you speak of, same idea. They want to drop the
radio into a ConvertaCom, have the radio body held in alignment with
the pin pad in the docking adapter, and have it mate up automagically
on insertion.
