Ill be getting a few bit from Maplins soon. If you want I could pick one up for you and send it over, I can probably post it cheaper than they would charge you.

Thanks buddy!  I might take you up on that.  I just tried ordering one and they wanted $87 (51 pounds) for it!!  I'm going to finalize the layout of my I/O panel tomorrow and I'll use the dimensions of that plug in my layout...

Franco B:
 :o They wanted how much?  :laugh2:

Ive sent a fair few things over to the US and I would be suprised if it more than $10 at the max. Most small packets I have sent over have been $4-$8, certainly not $87.  :D

Just give me a shout if you do want one and Ill get it sent over.

Thanks for the link.  The one you used on your I/O panel for the cocktail would be perfect.  Same goes for the one from lizardlick that mountain pointed out if the switch came in black.  I really like the snap-in version though.  If I ended up having one shipped from the UK would there be a voltage problem or something?  Do you guys use the same plugs we do?

javeyh,
They sell one that is all black. It is the more expensive one on that page (directly below the one with the red switch) and it comes with with a built in EMI filter. Look at my jukebox thread, I used this same one on the it.

51 quid, the robbing ---daisies---, are they planning on booking it a seat on the plane

haha... thanks for the info everyone!  They wanted 2.78 pounds and the rest in shipping and VAT.  Incredible.  I finally found the part in mouser's catalog for $5.85 so I'm going to order from them.  Here is the PRODUCT LINK and DATA SHEET if anyone is interested.  I like the "snap-in" look of this instead of the screws even though there will be other screws on the I/O panel when it is all said and done.

Thanks for the offer to send one over Franco!  I'm going to be sending you a chicken scratch drawing to put into a CAD file if you don't mind for the layout of the panel though.  It will be a rectangle with a bunch of holes in it which hopefully isn't too hard to do...   :cheers:
