High quality "locking" IEC connectors?

Hey Twoleftears,

I've seen that brand but have not seen this particluar item/picture. I'll have to research this brand somemore. Thanks so much for your input.

I wish they would tell you what the conductors are made out of. They may - like I said - I'll just have to do more research.

Thanks again,

Keith

Keith, some time ago I put some heat shrink tubing on the end of one of my IEC connectors. It worked pretty well. Heat shrink tubing comes in different thickness, you may have to experiment.

Hello again,

Check out the Iego IEC Inlets. Not sure if it has been mentioned yet: http://www.cryo-parts.com/iego_iec_inlet.html

Or, you can get them thru David from Taiwan at a bit of a savings if purchased in multiples: http://www.audiocircle.com/circles/index.php?topic=41048.0;prev_next=next

Note these are made with either pure silver or copper w/ plating, NOT bronze or steel. I have 3 (copper w/ gold plating) on the way and will update upon installation and burn-in.

Regards,

Easiest, most effective, and clean solution without replacing the chassis receptical or your plug end is to simply start with a single layer of black electrical tape wrapped around the male IEC portion that enters the jack.. If needed you can build up with another thin layer of tape until you feel it is snug enough, warning however this can get VERY tight fast and difficult to disconnect, and can of course "Bunch" the tape up if you disconnect a time or two and force you to replace the tape as it will not go back in...

You can do the same as mentioned above with 1.25" heat shrink I think is the ID size, but don't quote me I can't remember the exact size off the roll.. This however is the same issue as electrical tape once it gets bunched up once or twice can need to be replaced.
