I have two 250 EX machines that each have broken cooler power receptacles.
I'm wondering if this part is replaceable?

Those are standard IEC C13 connectors. You can often recycle one from the back of an old computer power supply. Here are two versions, the first with solder lugs and the second with .250" tabs, so you can use quick disconnects. They are not the toughest connector so if you plug and unplug them a lot, you might want to go with something stronger.Quote:

Male for in female for out. Many older AT power supplies used to have a female out to plug in a monitor. I guess I'm dating myself.Quote:

Female is correct for output. Changing to male would be dangerous as you could easily touch the live pins.Quote:

I would imagine with the internet, they should be easy to find.
Great ideas guys! We have boxes of old computer parts in our warehouse, I should be able to find some.
