Thank you Pat, not good [Mad]

Check the position of the mounting screws holes, they are vertical which was the type used in some Elmo ST1200 HD. Most similar inlets have horizontal mounting screws holes.

I have checked Allied catalog and spoken to them and they don't carry this type.

Still searching [Frown]

Hi again Pat,

I should have mentioned this before but I already had checked Digikey but I followed your lead and checked it again still no luck [Mad]

Digikey and Allied seems to carry just about the same products as they're just gateway for several manufacturers. I am beginning to believe that this connectors just don't exist any longer unless they are scavenged from older machines?

Anybody have any for sale?

I left you a voice mail message earlier today Pat, please give me a call when you can.

Merry Christmas.

Jon

Hi Jon,

Since you seem to have access to the part can you get any manufacturer and part number information off of it?

I might have a used one from an old ST 1200 projector. So, you
need what is pictured? With the two scews (top and bottom)?

Hi Steve, Hi Vincent,

Steve, thank you for the tip - I checked the item and the only number I could find are: 240V 6A X-16414 [Confused]

I couldn't begin to find a manufacturer or distributor with these numbers - any ideas?

-------

Vincent,
Thank you for looking into it. Yes, I need what is pictured. I need several but if you have one that's a beginning. Please let me know at your convenience. I can send payment through PayPal or your method of choice.

Thank you

Jon

Hi Jon,

That's probably a real part number, maybe obsoleted for decades. My searches found absolutely nothing for it.

The basic connector style is IEC-320: a worldwide standard that is as common as dirt. The problem is the mounting tabs. (Good standards sometimes get badly hurt by creative minds!)

Worse comes to worse a different mounting style could be mounted onto a fabricated adapter plate with the holes in the right spots. If artfully done it wouldn't even look bad!

Hi Steve, Hugh and Vincent:

Steve,
Thank you for the suggestion. However, there is the fuse in the same mounting configuration and although I am sure one can come up with a good homemade solution, I will try to buy one of those wreck that get listed once in a while. I can use the inlet and the rest for other parts. I appreciate the suggestion.

Hugh,
Thank you very much for your offer but I do need the one with the screws up and under. I really appreciate the offer.

Vincent,
John Capazzo doesn't have the specific unit. He thought he had it while you reached him at work but upon checking when he got home he found it to be the wrong piece.

You guys are really great for all of your suggestions and the best for just being members of this wonderful forum.

Merry Christmas!

Jon
