Directly below
the middle pin is a rib or ridge
that would require a
groove or slot in the
mating free connector.
Before I start hacking up cables does anybody
recognise this plug.
in a pinch
I've taken a
knife to a standard IEC power cable and made the
appropriate
notch...that trick works fine.
Yeah, I've done the same thing - I was under the
impression that the "notched" cables were supposed to
be for 20A connection, but I've never had problems
simply cutting a groove into a decent grade standard
power cable and using that. (I would avoid the cheapie
thin power cables that come with modern stuff for this
purpose)
