Powercon leads

[funkymook]

Does anyone have mains to Powercon leads they would like to sell, and Powercon outs to IEC's?

Or if anyone can make custom lengths for me at a good price.

Martin, they are easy enough to make yourself. (less fiddly than IEC or 13 amp plugs).

Get the bits from CPC or Terralec (cable from Screwfix nice rubbery flexible stuff not the plastic rubbish). Takes about 3 -5 mins per lead.

Shame you didn't post this last week. Just made a load on Thursday.

Get the bits from CPC or Terralec Or Maplins if you have to (although they only seem to do ins for some reason, probably don't realise that in & out connectors aren't compatible)

I shall have a go then - I've made up IEC's in the past so sounds like it shouldn't be to much of a chore (I was just being lazy!)

no harder than putting on a 13a plug

probably easier than fitting iec plugs.

Indeed it is, but Steve and Andy may both have overlooked the fact that Martin needs IEC plugs at one end of many of the cables. I'll look the numbers up, but I got some nice IEC ones from CPC.
These.

I'm guessing that these are the female equivalent. Only guessing mind. Certainly the ones above are very user friendly, as long as you don't use cable the same size as I did. :o :o

May I refer my incautious and somewhat disgruntled colleague to the disclaimer I posted in my recommendation. :p

It's one eliminated from the list of possibilities. I'll order a different one next time, & the time after that until I can confirm the order code for the correct sort.

Good man. :thumbs_up: When you've done that, please let us know, so we don't make the same mistake. :D

( Actually, I'm sure we've had something along these lines before, I must have a search )

You could buy an IEC lead and chop off the end you don't need and put on the powercon :D
