Yep. The same dog, different leg action to the Teflon ones I described on Ebay. You can also find them much cheaper on Ailexpress. I've also previously bought and used the style that Scott mentioned, from Ebay and they are excellent. However, the ones of that style on Ebay at present, are made of ABS plastic, so I would not go with them.

The good ones are;

Aliexpress Item 1005007583822381

Simply hard wire the amplifier end of the HV wire into the amp through a clearance insulator and have the socket mounted on the rear panel of the power supply. If the plug gets pulled out when the HV is on, which is unlikely, as the connectors are a very firm fit, then nobody gets hurt. That way, you also only need one plug and one socket.

Cheers, Alek VK6APK.

Don't depend on haphazard grounding for HV power return, run a
separate dark cable for the HV return in addition to having a common
shack grounding system.

Use bright red HV cables and purpose built HV connectors.? Millen HV
connectors have been used in Amateur radio applications for a long
time.

HI? all,

Thanks for reading the mail.? I have acquired a home brew amp

and power supply that is missing its HV cable.? I'd like to change
both

of them to one style since they are both different.? Jack Schutt K9GT

originally built this.? I'd thought about using SO-239/PL-259's that
are

Teflon with RG-8 inner conductor cable as the HV wire and packing

the PL-259's with RTV-108 and sleeving the wire with GOOD Belden

heavy shrink tube with sealant.? Does that sound like it would hold

5 KV since that's what Jack built the power supply too?? Thanks

for the input and reading the mail.
