    Default Help with Digi-Key parts search needed (AC adapter port)

    I am looking to buy a quantity of AC adapter PORTS. Not AC adapters, but surface mount ACadapter ports, very similar (but reverse pin polarity) to SEGA Genesis AC adapter ports.

    I'm working on a fix to a common SNES AC port problem. If I can get the right AC ports, an alternate AC adapter will be able to work as a substitute for the repaired SNES AC port.

    Anyone familair with the SNES connector plate will be aware that only a total port replacement can solve this issue.

    Anyone have any idea what these may have for a technical description? I'm searching Digi-key, but without pics I feelI'm shooting in the dark here.

    Any Ideas? Thanks in advance.

    jack, socket, connector?

    Those were terms I was using when I was looking for one for a broken laptop on ebay. I found one too! If a laptop one might work, it seems there are tons on ebay. Good luck!

    All these power supply connectors are called "DC" plug/jacks, as far as I can tell. They are measured with an internal and external diameter in mm. Thats all I know.
