Plug Connector to pass power thru case

**sxott** · 09-30-2006, 07:41 PM

I would like a quick connection method so I can unplug my pc and take it inside. I have searched some and found spade connectors mentioned, but I am not a great fan of them. I would rather some sort of plug that is more secure. The back of a subwoofer for a set of computer speakers I have has a screw on plug that has 3 pins. Something like that would be perfect.

The only thing I found anywhere near that at RS is A CB plug It has 4 pins which is fine, but I don't know if it is safe to pull that much power thru it. (I have a mobile sempron in a nforce4 s754 microatx).

Thanks, they did indeed have some nice products.

this and this
look perfect. The site is strange though can a regular person buy things there? There is no pricing and it seems like they want resellers only not individuals ordering one plug and one receptacle.

Well for now I just used a molex connector that I soldered together for the plug. It isn't pretty and hangs out flopping around, but it will get the job done until I change it later.
