[LakelandARC] Searching for DC 4 Pin Plug [1 Attachment]

[jtkeyz at aol.com]

Bryan:  That style is known as a "Cinch Jones plug."  Some  configurations 
are no longer manufactured, while others have been copied and are  still in 
production.  They have a plastic base and a metal cap with a  carboard 
separator in the cap to prevent shorting. The cap is usually held  in place with 
a drive pin. There are a variety of physical sizes and  contact 
configurations, both horizontally and vertically and a mix  thereof.  Nearly 100% of 
them had the same size contact openings although  rather than just straight, 
there were some contact openings in an "L" shape. Try  Googling "Cinch Jones" 
or simply "cinch connector" and then attempt to match  what you have with 
what's available. You might be very fortunate in looking  first at the Mouser 
Electronics website and find exactly what you  need. 
 When you get it.  Don't forget to slide the cap on the  wire first, and 
then solder leads to the contacts.  Of  course none of us have ever made the 
mistake of soldering first and  attempting to put the cap on afterward, even 
with coax connectors.
  Hope this info helps.
