Looking for a small 8 pin connector - male and female

Hi,

I am looking for small 8 pin connectors - think the size of micro USB. I will need to run a mix of audio, power and data signals through. I would need both options for attaching on cords as well as on PCBA. Size is important - any ideas guys?

What type of power? DC?

The audio and data signal lines will most likely interfere with each other, as well as absorb noise from the power lines.

If signal integrity is not a concern, anything would work. A 9-pin din plug. Or build your own cable using 8 conductor CPC connectors and shielded cables.

I do a lot with CNC equipment, where signal integrity is imperative.
I am always looking for an alternative to what I use. (I need something similar to you.) From my experience, placing all those lines together will cause issues. I had a problem with the 60Hz from AC power, and had to use differential cable drivers to protect the signal. My machines wen from cutting ovals to the proper circles.
