Help Electronic gurus, IEC Questions for upgrade


Hello there
I am finding this out for someone,
Upgrading an amplifier that does not have a detachable cord. Unable to fit a regular IEC connector on the back or even the powercord directly, not enough space, therefore trying to find another replacement for the IEC, the powercord that is going to be used is thick and does not have a termination yet on the end that is going to be connected to the amplifier so......I am up for using anything that works.

This is a must
The connector "IEC" needs to be small and round preferably compared to the rectangular IEC standard size.
Hope this is clear

Thanks

The only connector that might meet your requirements would be the Neutrik POWERCON. The connector is round and the recepticle is somewhat smaller than a standard IEC.
Thank you kindly, intersting but after researching a little I saw under neutrik this lable under the PowerCon.
Read the last paragraph, does this mean I am unable to use it for my 50w integrated amplifier's main connector????????
