Polarised C8 Inlet Power Connector

[ikrananka]

Does anyone now where I can purchase retail several polarised C8 power inlet connectors such as http://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/342658/SCHURTER/2577.html (although this one appears to have been discontinued by Schurter). I need it to screw-mount with solder rear connectors.

I have tried Mouser and Digi-key and Googled and searched for weeks - surely they must be sold somewhere.

Thanks for any help.

tricky one huh,, Farnell dont even have it.... I have a few of them around home that I have stripped off old equip. They are common on a Denon brand of CD player where both the polarised style you want and the non-polarised fig-8 style are used.

one reason over the years why I have spent much time stripping gear for bits

I cannot believe how difficult these are to find. Don't suppose you'd consider selling some of those you've stripped off old equip?

Thanks

If you could use a snap-in: http://www.alliedelec.com/search/productdetail.aspx?SKU=6893638

Schurter lists yours as a 2577, but can't find a source. Maybe email Schurter?

Hey - they just might work. The thickness of my panel is just over 2mm so should snap-in (panel is plastic so could thin it slightly if necessary).

The only problem I can see is that the item linked above has connections for a PCB. I need to solder direct to wires - do you think soldering wires to these PCB connections would be difficult and/or not-recommend?

Thanks so much for finding this item.

Soldering to them should not be a problem...they're meant to be soldered anyway.
