"I have tens of thousands of dollars in power cables” - congrats to your dealer!
assuming you have high grade new equipment, what was wrong with original PCs?
An IEC with grip
I am sure this has been discussed ad nauseum, but I have not found what I am looking for yet. I have built several power cables and bought a bunch, but I am consistently disappointed by the IEC plugs and their weak grip. I have spent some bucks on Neotech and Wireworld plugs and cords, and they frequently have to be pushed back in place. One of the cords that does have grip is the Classic+ that I received with my Puritan PSM156, that holds quite well.
Any suggestions? I know that I can improve things by wrapping the plug in tape to make it stay put, but my interest here is finding something with grip that will improve the connection.

@zlone - I use Silver plated Copper Sonarquest from Ebay They grip like a vice SonarQuest C25-Ag(T) Aluminum Alloy CRYO AG Silver Plated Audio Grade IEC AC Power Plug Connector When you compare them to other plugs you wil see that the clamping contacts are much thicker These are the best IEC’s I have ever used in over 10 years of making my own cables Also, you might be interested in a couple of my other posts... I have tried many other brands, but Sonar Quest are the best mains connectors I have used and they are affordable Regards - Steve |
@williewonka Thanks, I will give those a try. @ctromeo87 I am trying out the Iego's, and they do have a great grip and are well constructed, thanks for the advice. They are a tight squeeze for larger cords, 10 awg, so I may give something else a try for the larger ones. Great for source cords though. |
