Any chance of a picture of both parts?

Can it be converted to an IEC inlet? got loads of they here...

Picture here:

I haven't opened the box up so don't know if there is room inside for an IEC. I was hoping I could just get a replacement plug for the broken one.

tokens? Or

spares.

Peter,

The same slug and pocket is used on the Heidenhain 'dnc' units (either a cassette tape or diskette) for CNC controls and they turn up on ebay occassionally. I do actually have one but I'm afraid it's in use.

What are the odds of fitting a matching pair of plug and socket, say, something salvaged from a scrapped stereo or appliance? Are there space constraints against?

Or you could just hardwire it to the back side of the original socket for the time being. A 1/4" hole, a strain releif, and a touch with a soldering iron.

It looks like this Hirschmann-connector.

Good to hear! I **thought** that I have one sitting in a drawer (the plug) since decades and I looked for it, but couldn't find it. Or was that unfair telling you? OTOH, that's how I recognized him.

Incredible, the amount of money I have spent on making up minimum orders, or "I may as well get enough to get free P&P"....

Do RS have a minimum order?

Only for telephone orders, web orders for account holders are still 'no minimum' IIRC.

We have accounts with both, but don't use Farnell much as it is almost a duplicate range to RS.

Looking back through 24 years of invoices etc., as we were shredding it all, we used to deal with a whole raft of smaller distributors, many of whom were local. Then the consolidation started, and eventually they all ended up inside one of the four big companies, Arrow, Access, Electrocomponents and Farnell. There are a few left, but realistically you have to deal with one of this four for most bits and pieces.

One thing we have missed is the availability of the big electrolytic caps that Philips made, they are starting to get very expensive now, and we use quite a lot of the big value ones.

Funny - most of my orders are with Farnell as the prices tend to be cheaper than RS. But I do have to keep an eye on things as Rapid and a few other small suppliers can give me a better bulk price even allowing for carriage.

I know I can haggle with Farnell and RS, but at the end of the day a quick check and on-line ordering is better then a long phone call discussing what business I MIGHT place in the next six months :(

Farnell has no minimum for a/c holders - although they do charge £4.25 "handling" for orders
