Where can I get a plug like this? Along with its female end

[Tchay]

I need a plug like this one. It can handle 60 watts and would be perfect for the gamecube. Its max amperage is like 3A. And voltage can go very high.

Also its a 90 degree barrel plug. Which is kickass for my portable. BUT, I need the female part too.

Any idea where I could get this? I've seen some websites exclusively for plugs and cables, but I didn't dig too much.

wouldn't this belong in the Junkyard Thread.
I mean i know it's about a about a gamecube.
but you are looking for something to buy or find.

It would be hard to get a match if you already have the male end, but laptops would be a good place to look.

check out barrel jacks on Mouser. Large selection and cheap as balls. I suggest getting lots of components there.

They had some good stuff, but their right angle plugs wouldn't list the amperage!!!!

Their site did give me the right terminology to search for on ebay. "DC plug right angle"

Ebay's got what I'm looking for. Assuming the amperage is high enough (waiting on the seller).

Amperage matters? I just use whatever I can find.

Are you looking for the female jack as well as the AC adapter? I'm confused

I was looking for the plug and the female end. Kinda need both ya know

Thankfully, the barrel size is kinda universal with a LOT of jacks, so I only bought the plug on ebay.

The only scary thing is that my charging plug and the power plug will be the same size. I'll need to label the jacks so I don't put power in the wrong one....completely destroying the batteries.

Oh and SS, I'm pretty sure if the wiring from the plug is too thin, it won't be able to handle the 2A that the GC will draw. The normal GC power cord thickness gives you an idea I suppose.
