[ARC5] Power plug for BC-453-B

[Bruce Long]

Some time back I bought a mini-plug to confirm that it did fit but I have some vague ideas of offering a ARC-5 receiver power supply kit and the mini-plugs are out of the question due to cost for that application, hence my interest in brass tubing ( soldered to a pcb with heat shrink tubing insulation, protruding through an aluminum plate the same dimensions as the dynamotor plate.
For quantity one mini-plug jacks are likely the way to go.    Having said that, if you take to sections of copper clad, remove copper at the right places, drill 3 (6) holes in the right places and solder in three brass tube sections you could fabricate a plug cheaply and cheaply.
I think I have a mechanical drawing I made of the the hole spacing and dimension.  Email if you are interested.    bruce

I think that the miniature banana sockets are still made by Pomona and you should be able to get them from a number of distributors.  While you're at it, the males are also available.  One of those plus a connector salvaged from a gutted ARA or SCR-274-N (-A suffix only) will make a plug that fits the connector on the rear of the receivers and all but the AN/ARC-5 transmitters (for the ARC-5 ones, use one of the IFT plugs)..

I found a brass  tube with the correct inside diameter that slides right over the banana plug.   I have a back burner project of making a power supply circuit on an aluminum plate that plugs in just like a Dynomotoer.  
 
 
 
 Yo can make a plug from three sections of the brass tubing, a piece of clad and some heat shrink.   If you are interested I will send the mcMaster Carr part number for the brass tune and I might even have a spare one to send you
