An IEC with grip
I am sure this has been discussed ad nauseum, but I have not found what I am looking for yet. I have built several power cables and bought a bunch, but I am consistently disappointed by the IEC plugs and their weak grip. I have spent some bucks on Neotech and Wireworld plugs and cords, and they frequently have to be pushed back in place. One of the cords that does have grip is the Classic+ that I received with my Puritan PSM156, that holds quite well.
Any suggestions? I know that I can improve things by wrapping the plug in tape to make it stay put, but my interest here is finding something with grip that will improve the connection.
I use this one: Haisstronica, aka Amazon Special. It takes a bit of elbow grease, but it does the job: Really the important part for me is the ratcheting action.

On a whim I bought an IEC connector and plug from Amazon. Needed a power cord. Damn these are nice quality product. They offer bare copper, rhodium plating of the copper, and gold plating. I have zero affiliation. Fully retired

@hbarrel Thanks for posting. I looked at these, but the reviews seemed a bit mixed, and I was not sure of the grip strength. If the Sonarquest don’t do the trick, I will give them a try. |
