power connector part number

[James Cizek]

Hi all,

Question here, I can't seem to find the answer to in the manual or with
google. Is the power cord that comes with the KX3 a special part for
Elecraft or is that a common "electronics distributor" part?  The manual
states a Switchcraft part number, but that part is for a standard straight
plug, not the molded 90 degree plug that comes with the radio.   I'd like
to purchase more of these plugs for various places/power sources and would
like to find an exact replacement so I can use some of them with the 3D
printed coax-to-powerpole adapters that are out there.

If the answer is "order it from Elecraft", that's acceptable, but if there
is a generic part number I can buy at the same time as other parts I need
(ie, mouser, digikey, etc) that would be good to know.

Thanks everyone.

James,

I can't believe that no one has replied to your question yet. The
adapter is a "standard part".  They are a "Tensility 10-01065".  You
should be able to find that on Google.  They are definitely available
from DigiKey as part number 839-1167-ND. This is the part I use for the
PowerPole Adapters that I sell at http://stores.ebay.com/N0WL-Radio.  I
can't see any difference between this part and the one Elecraft delivers.
