Hi Jon,
Military grade hardware is prohibitively expensive - but you won't get
better. RS and Farnell used to supply these Amphenol connectors but I
suppose the demise of our defence industry means there is no longer a
market for them?
You can download a datasheet from these people but you'll need to register.

Unless you already have the dedicated Amphenol crimping tool (also
prohibitively expensive) it might pay to get the solder-bucket pins
(these people supply them) - all you need is a good quality temperature
controlled soldering iron, a steady hand and younger eyes than I have.
Hope that helps.

I have found some 6026-18-32 connectors, but they are prohibitively expensive
and all appear as recovered/reconditioned stock, without spec sheets.
