It should be possible to make one, though. Either lilke that IEC
connector you have (I susepct) with top and bottom half-housings and
contacts that fit into them, or as a socket hosuing with contacts and a
separate cover cap that fits over the termnials/cable.
I think I could make the latter tpye at home, but I'd rather not if I can
get the connecotr or a moulded cable.
Does anyone know if the connnector we're
talking about was ever made in a
non-moulded (i.e. the user gets to fit the cable) type? If so, is it
avaialble anywhere?
I have 4-5 of them, all slightly different, but all of them moulded connectors.
Never seen a 'fixable' version, the size would arguably make it difficult to
produce in such a form.
(I do have an IEC cord connector in 'fixable'/screw-terminal form.)
Those are very easy to get in the UK (and in various versions, like the
'hot condition' one with the notch between the current-carrying pins). I
prefer them to the moulded type.
