Subject: [FlyRotary] OFF TOPIC - electric
connection - plug
Hi all,
I wonder whether someone has experience/suggestions for the
following:
I am in the process to upgrade my flight helmet with a headset inc.
ANR-kit.
They work great in my regular headsets, but I would like to improve the
power-supply connections.
As I am using the equipment about every day, the use/abuse starts to show
- the power cable connection is a plug in with thread-safety.
However these seems to open by themselves (stainless or chromed) and the
plastic covers on the plugs have long lost their threads too.
I would like to do away with these connectors for a simple plug-in plug
without any thread-safety. Just like headphone or mike plug.
It has to be a rather tight fit, so a tug on the lead would not unplug
easily. I thought of using a mike or headphone plug/socket, but they are
rather pricey (Spruce) and some one could burn their headset if plugged in by
mistake.
Does anyone a suggestion for online order
- make/brand/system/source)? I need inline(power-supply) female connector
and chassis-mounted female connectors in addition to the male plugs
- as I am running the helmet and headsets and some times I have to
adjust the length of the power supply according to the aircraft I fly, I will
have to make an extension-cord...
The powerpack will be sitting on the floor, as I am changing the supplied
pack (with 9V battery) for a Pelican-case based "power block"
BEFORE you order make sure you specify your requirements
exactly - no extra charge....
Thanks for any reply,
Thomas
PS: NO economic or other involvement with headset inc., just a great
company to deal with and great quality too for the price.
My work environment is just rough...
