I think it's larger than that. I have what I thought was a large-bore
power connector, but it doesn't come close to fitting. I'm just
stumped at how to spec and order something that's a bit off the
charts. I saw the Radio Shack catalog entries, and, while the letter
scheme was new to me, I could recognize all the parts shown. This
center pin is substantially fatter than an ordinary "2.5mm" plug, but
the OD looks about the same.
