None of the search terms I'm feeding in seem to give me any links. Also need to get some wire too. Paid a trip to Dick Smith in Queen Street but was a wasted trip.
Thanks alot.
Check the local directory for an electrical wholesale or hardware , even supercheap auto carry small packets of crimp connectors for car work , if they dont have spade connectors then use the std ring type and as suggested snip the side out , the psu shown will grip them on the posts well enoughVK/9V1CJ wrote:Does anyone know where I could find those horseshoe shaped power clips for a PSU?

The fork size varies, you may get away with 6mm or less, but 6.4mm suits most larger power supplies. 8mm will not suit smaller supplies. Buy quality connectors, be wary of some of the stuff on eBay.VK/9V1CJ wrote:Does anyone know where I could find those horseshoe shaped power clips for a PSU? I'm referring to the type below:

I am talking about ordinary electrical connections for indoors, out of the weather or protected from weather.VK2AAH wrote:...If people want to be absolutely 110% sure of the termination then solder AND crimp.
If you do, make sure you buy one with a releasable ratchet... lest you start to close the tool with the terminal in the wrong cavity.VK/9V1CJ wrote:Interesting topic and perhaps I should pony up the the cash for a quality crimp tool.
Thanks for the advice and item codes.
