Looking to remove a hard wired two wire AC power cord on my Heed Canamp and replace with a C7 style cable.

 

I cannot seem to find the chassis side for a custom install.

 

Thoughts? Thxs

The mating receptacle for the C7 is a C8.

 

Can get 'em from Mouser Electronics (see A and B at the top of the page).

I found a screw mount one in my sample/junk box. If you'd like it, PM me a mailing address and I'll drop it in the mail tomorrow.

THxs, I just sent you a PM.

 

No wonder I couldn't find anything under a C7 search!

Here's a handy little chart with all the various IEC 320 designations.

Good luck with your project!

great a bit off topic but i guess its somewhat related than opening a new thread. I'm thinking about switching the powercable on my Swans MKIII which using a C7 outlet. I bought a PS Audio C7 power punch power cable and didn't realize it was a C7 polarized meaning one side is rounded and the other is squared. Will it still fit in my speakers? If it doesn't, I heard someone using a knife it shave the squared side off making it round, but don't know if this is safe... Need some help guys.

It would be okay to trim down the polarized plug.

 

Alternatively, you can buy a power cable with a non-polarized C7 plug, such as the Pangea AC-14 (Link: http://www.audioadvisor.com/prodinfo.asp?number=PGAC14C7).

thanks... yeah I wasn't aware the PS Audio was a polarized plug, bought it online so didn't get a chance to check and see. If it doesn't work out, i'll definitely look into the Pangea AC-14... the price looks good too, much cheaper than what i've seen.
