I am trying to order a chassis for my AKSA-Lender pre-amplifier, and it looks like a Modushop 2U Pesante will have ample room. The pre-amplifier currently uses a 12V/1.5A wall wart, the business end is a 5.5mm x 2.5mm barrel connector. While I realize they can be polarizing (heh), since what I have is working well, I'd like to keep it.
We can find several different types of panel-mount barrel connectors. I understand the idea behind the threaded-body types (e.g. the PJ-064B); I've used them already for my MoFos. But I'm not that keen on the esthetics of them.
And so my question is about the other types, of which there seem to be at least two:
Can anyone describe to me how these are attached to a panel? CUI has not deigned to answer my question from several days ago.
Kind regards,
Drew

And so my question is about the other types, of which there seem to be at least two:
- Sockets with 'wings' that look like they are meant to accept small screws (e.g. the PJ-039BH) Sometimes the screw sockets are 'inside' and sometimes they are 'outside'
- Sockets with 'grooves' that look perhaps like they are meant to be slid into an opening cut from the edge of a panel (e.g. the PJ-009BH, or the PJ-008B)
Can anyone describe to me how these are attached to a panel? CUI has not deigned to answer my question from several days ago.
