mini din DC power plug needed

Jun 12, 2005 1 Replies

I have a broken power output plug on my laptop psu.



It is like a svideo mini din plug but has 4 pins in a roughly square formation except that the bottom pair of pins are slightly closer together than the top pair. it has no plastic locator inside the barrel of the plug but has two indented locators on the outer steel barrel. The plug is round and has the same outward appearance as the svideo plugs.


I have tried maplins and RS components but can not find them listed.



As I begrudge paying =A360 for a new psu for the sake of a plug I would be most grateful to anyone who could help me source one or who could give me the proper name for the plug so that I can try further myself.


Thanks in advance Invadar.



I think you have ther correct term: mini-DIN, 4 pin/connector (depending on which sex you need to fit or replace). Here in the colonnies, there are a number of sources; to see what is available, look in Digikey, Mouser or Jameco. Digikey:

Basically, use the search facility and tyoe in "mini din" no quotes...
