DIY DC power cables

[ted_b]

John,

Did you find anywhere that they have locking dc barrels in screw terminals?  I am trying to replace the external power supply of my preamp and it uses a locking 2.5mm  input on the pre, and the pickins are slim...i.e none that I can find.

 

BTW, I found some Canare starquad cabling, thanks.

For my request, locking and 2.5mm size.  Thx

Here you go Ted. https://www.amazon.com/SWITCHCRAFT-760K-CONNECTOR-POWER-PLUG/dp/B005T7HW4Q/

 

Of course you have to solder it. Pain in the next with star-quad--and why I use the Oyaide plugs for big star-quad.  That's why John is suggesting the CCTV screw-terminal barrel plugs.  Big(ish) wire, and great for easy 'Y' cables, experiments, LPS-1 series connection, etc.  

 

Besides the Oyaide plugs, the only DC barrels that are any good at all are the Switchcraft and CUI.  And CUI does not make plugs with locking nuts.  So that leaves the above Switchcraft.

 

Ciao,

ALEX 

LOL, if I could solder the world (of Amazon) would be my oyster.  Thanks anyway.

If you can it would be nice.  That's what I'll try to do with my SU-1.  But getting pairs of big conductors into the crimp terminals for the two-pin circuit board plug will be difficult.

You guys saw this, right (I posted about it a few days ago)?  Is the cable quality bad?

Ordered my 4S6, screw terminal 2.5 dc plugs and some 19mm heatshrink.

 

Are we assuming that this DIY replaces/exceeds the supplied dc cables from Uptone (LPS1, etc) too?
