I have in mind a project that will use AC Plug Packs. For safety and
legal reasons I can\'t change that, but I am troubled by the low voltage
power plugs supplied. They are 2.1mm round plugs just like those on
almost any DC plug Pack.

Time marches on plug packs get mixed in together and \"hey this fits\" and
pzzzt... magic smoke happens to someones piece of kit.

are there suggestions for an alternative plug to use. Doesn\'t need to be
polarized (of course), but something hot plug-able would be nice.

Any suggestions?

Switchcraft \"mini DIN\" plugs

Of course you\'re paying more for these than a common coaxial-pin DC plugs.
But for professional products, for use in field, the added cost can be
justified. Cheers, Rich S.

Use two connectors, one for each pole.


Is that a Polish joke?
one shared between 2 poles.

So, it\'s a bi-polar joke?
