Nick, et. Al.

I measured and Nick, you are, of course, correct.  I took the AC power plug from my PAL-500 and tried to fit it into the SBE power supply and a) it was too large – and measured 1.125” as you predicted and b) had 3 conductors instead of two.

A fellow TMC lister was kind enough to offer me the correct one, so I believe I am in good shape at this time.  THANKS to EVERYONE who contributed.

Ahh, the curse of TMC power connectors - I hate those hard-to-find things!
I think you mean the blades are curved (not round).

There are two sizes that show up -
I believe the one you need is 15/16" diameter
It may be a NEMA ML-1R, Hubbell HBL7464V - or it might be obsolete
Try that one and see.

The other is 1-1/8" dia and also has a center ground pin.
Possibly NEMA ML-3R, Hubbell HBL7484

They both are marked Hubbell Twist-Lock 15A.125V./10A.250V.

Hello folks, I have a TMC SBE-3 (A-1397) power supply that takes a two prong AC mains input. The prongs are round in shape and male. A picture can be seen here it is J401 (not the 14 pin mil connector on the left, I have that one).

I have seen these before, but I've never known what they are called. If you can tell me what they are called, I can google them and hunt down a female to then wire up to a standard AC plug.  Or maybe you have a spare female?!

Thanks in advance.
