A detachable power plug for a scratch built cabinet

Pages: (1/2) > >>

Hello,
  Instead of having the cable for my power strip sticking out if the cabinet,  I wanted to add a plug on the back that I could just connect a normal PC power cord so I can use longer or shorter cords, and just look cleaner.  But I can't find a plug and a faceplate to put on the back of the cabinet.  I believe the inlet would be an IEC-320-C14.  Could someone confirm this for me and perhaps suggest a US distributor?

  My local electrical stores were unable to help.

Thank you,

-Patrick

Check Mouser.com and click the Catalog tab.  Search function is useless.

Actually scratch that--search is only useful if you have a part number.   :)

See if any of these fit the bill.

Wow, thanks.  Now I just have to decide what will look best.  So many options on how to control power on a cab.

Thanks again, especially for such a quick response.
