Where to get DC power connectors

[mmacleod]

Does anybody know a good place to get DC power connectors/jacks, I'm looking specifically for DC barrel connectors in the following sizes:
7.4mm exterior 5mm interior (Equivalent of an HP laptop power connector essentially)
6.5mm exterior 4.4mm interior (Equivalent of a samsung monitor)

I need some of these for various components of my 'off grid' setup that I will be doing.

I've tried all the places that seemed obvious to me like Communica and rs-online and none of them seem to have this sort of thing (they only have the smaller ones)

Mantech , Rabtron, Tisonics, acdc dynamics

mm, no luck so far, still waiting for a response from one or two but doesn't look promising.
Anyone know any other places?

If I look at this you need a 5.5 x 2.1mm for the HP:

Where are your measurements from?

It isn't actually for an HP - it is just happens to be the same size as an HP plug (or at least some HP plugs) - as for the measurements, either HP have more than one adapter size (not that unlikely given how many products they have) or rabtron are wrong (also not entirely possible).

e.g. Here is an HP adapter with the plug I need on the end... http://www.amazon.com/PL7450-Laptop-Power-Cable-NC8430/dp/B007QR8VEM

Thanks, they didn't occur to me at all, from their website it doesn't look very promising but I will give them a call anyway.

In those sizes? Communica told me they are out of stock on the one size and don't sell the other.

" DC PLUG I/L 4,3X6,5MM W/1,4MM CENTER PIN L=9,5MM
The minimum order quantity from the suppliers overseas is quite high, so I am not too sure when we are getting these in."

Meh, I'll just hack a connector out of wire and try grab some from overseas at some point. Thanks for the various links though!
