Quick question

johngalway

I'm drawing a blank here. What's the correct name for these handy jack plugs? Usually come on a charger or lead of some type. I'll use them to hook up a small 12v battery to the trail cameras. Different sized plugs fit better or worse into different gadgets, so I like to have a selection as above. Got two cameras rigged with them now, but I also use them for other purposes so don't want to be without. Can't for the life of me find the correct name. Probably is something jack plug but it escapes me... :rolleyes: Thanks in advance

Website is UK but they are in Ireland

Peat's Electronics in Parnell Street, Dublin 1 do all that type of stuff

Radionics in Herberton Rd., Rialto, Dublin 8 also do a hugh range of electronic gear

Both accept on-line orders and are reasonably priced.

John I've a feeling they only come with bespoke power supplies and it'll be hard to get just the end connectors on their own. As said above radionics could be your only hope.

Never hook up a 12v battery to a camera that's supposed to take a 6v :rolleyes:

Snap, crackle, pop, plastic smell, smoke... :eek:

Oh well, at least it was the one that got forgot about outside for about 9 months!



I'll find an el cheapo charger on fleabay or elsewhere Clive. I think that's where I got the last lot
