5 pin connector recommendations that have both male and female sockets available (programming.dev)

I'm looking for a 5 pin connector type that I can easily find chassis plugs for both male and female.

I've looked at DIN and mini xlr connectors, but have unsurprisingly been unable to find male chassis sockets.

The pins needs to support 12V 10A*

*realistically only expects about 6-7A flowing through 1 pin and one fourth of that through the 4 others.

I'm a big fan of Amphenol mil-spec connectors. They're a bit expensive, but not terribly so. You could almost certainly find one that meets your requirements.
