[Amps] Drake Power supply plug.

[James Bloomfield]

         Good Morning, 

 

         I 'think' I 'might' have found the long time problem with the
Drake L4-B 

         Amp that I have. 

         While in the process of opening the Amp. and going to do a
visual and smell test 

         when I discovered the connector had black areas on two of the
pins.  Like it 

had not been connecting correctly/tightly.  The female end has
contacts that go on either side of   the male end.  The contacts in
question will not 'grip' a screwdriver as 

tightly as the other contacts. 

The connector is on the end of the power cord that goes from the Power
supply

For the L4-B 

 

It looks similar to the connector listed below.

8 Blade Female - Inline
Cinch Jones


(CNE) S2408CCT
Cinch Jones 8 blade female - inline connector. Metal hood. No strain
relief. 15 amp

 

I would like to purchase a new connector if anyone can direct me to a
source.

The part number might be P-2408-DB.  I believe

 there is a 15 amp and a 30 amp rated plug. 

 

I can be contacted either on or of list at  KV4FE-at-ARRL-dot-net.
