Yes, it's some style of IEC-connector shell, the extra portion that apparently
fits in the old connector looks like it was intended as shroud for some sort of
non-solder or crimp style pins.
Earlier message:
Was just conversing with another fellow about these connectors for an old HP
counter. He found an alternative solution to work in a pinch:
Any ideas what the connector he's using is? It looks like some kind of
adapter on an IEC plug. I've made an matching power cord by reversing a
plastic IEC connector
shell and using molex pins in it. It's odd that an IEC shell backwards
fits perfectly. It wouldn't pass UL, and a second shell around the
cord-shell junction would help double insulate the AC wires, but it does
the job..
