250 EX water cooler power output.

[AWDnot2]

I have two 250 EX machines that each have broken cooler power receptacles.
I'm wondering if this part is replaceable?

Those are standard IEC C13 connectors. You can often recycle one from the back of an old computer power supply. Here are two versions, the first with solder lugs and the second with .250" tabs, so you can use quick disconnects. They are not the toughest connector so if you plug and unplug them a lot, you might want to go with something stronger.

Every one I've seen in a psu is male.

Now would be a good time to convert them to male. Any old PC power supply will have them. Cords are easy as well. And cheap to free. Find a local PC computer repair shop. Get a couple dead PSUs and power cords and you are all set.

Male for in female for out. Many older AT power supplies used to have a female out to plug in a monitor. I guess I'm dating myself.

Female is correct for output. Changing to male would be dangerous as you could easily touch the live pins.

I have not seen one with the female port in a long time and I was pretty young then

??? You mean people aren't using IBM AT computers anymore?? I threw out a bunch of old AT power supplies a couple of months ago. I thought I might be able to use them a long time ago and forgot all about them.

They're rare these days as far as PC power supplies go, here. I had 6 dead PS and none had the female AUX plug (for monitor) on them.

I would imagine with the internet, they should be easy to find.

Great ideas guys! We have boxes of old computer parts in our warehouse, I should be able to find some.
