Username 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2007 As weird as this sounds, the one component I have a hard time sourcing is an isolated DC jack, I've searched KOBA, SLT already. Anyone knows where can I get one? I know oversea part sourcing sites carry them, but the shipping is ridiculous. Or if you have surpluses and extra from previous projects, I am willing to buy one off you! Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bell Electronics and Sunlight, all should have it. I just bought two from one of these shops. Another place is the basement of Sim Lim Tower, near the stairs to Rochor Rd, the shop in the corner selling lots of components. If I am not wrong, they even have different sizes. Cost is about $1.50 to $2 each. Edited February 15, 2007 by heady Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ckng 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2007 Something like this (left)? Kai Chin has it. I believe a few other shops have it too. I can't remember the price now. Regards CK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ckng: The one on the left is not isolated, the one on the right is not panel mount. I bought both from KOBA and realise that there was no way I could put this in my PPA.

heady 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2007 This is the type of isolated DC jack you can get. Sorry this is the only pic I have at short notice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Username 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2007 (edited) Yep, that's what I bought! Thanks Heady! Now awaiting my orders from Farnell and Tangent... Cant wait! Btw, how do you drill such large holes? Hand drill? Edited February 16, 2007 by Username Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ckng 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2007 A regular drill should be able to drill up to 10mm or so. Anything bigger may require a reamer or panel punch if you want clean holes. The latter is available from Farnell - Something like this. Regards CK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heady 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2007 (edited) I used a stepped drill bit - something like this: http://www.axminster.co.uk/product-Axminst...t-Set-20339.htm But what ckng suggested, the punch, gives the best result. The drill bit I used, really needs to be used in bench press, which I don't have. And, I am curious. What are you building? Why not start a build thread and show the pics during your progress?
