Title: What type of plug is it ?
Post by: alex-sh on August 14, 2024, 10:46:04 pm
Hello all,

Silly question really but I cannot find any info.
Could you please help me to identify a type of DC plug?

Thanks

a property plug & socket standard when most common plug & socket standards will not do the job.
deliberately made to be incompatible with common plug & socket standards.

You think this is a proprietary plug? However, it should still be possible to identify or find one?

No, it is not. This is a 24V DC power supply plug for a turntable.

This plug is called “Texas plug”.
I hope it helps if anyone has the same question
