Mate. The one on my PC 3 looks A LOT like the same fitting as from my smoke alarm. Which costs less than the price of postage.

Okay that sounds interesting, you got any details of the smoke alarm? These plugs seem hard to source over here. Theres probably hundreds of them floating around in toolboxs as most peeps never use them.

I'm not at home right now. But I checked the one at work and it's true for the one at work also.

In fact from memory, just about any smoke alarm I have EVER changed a battery on uses the rectangular 9V battery and uses exactly the same loose connection with the flexible blue cap to fit the hexagonal fittings on the battery head. The model/details etc is kind of irrelevant. They SHOULD all be the same. Unless it's really cheap and then it'll use AAs - which don't do so well with the constant, steady discharge rate required in smoke alarms.

Some cheap/nasty security devices/crappy solar LED jobbies sometimes use them too. You know - the junk you buy off GrabOne/TreatMe/junk-email-once-a-day-for-gook-shit-that-falls-apart-in-a-week-and-although-it-has-warranty-good-luck-getting-someone-to-actually-entertain-it.

Ahh, Its actually the plug at the other end I need, the one that plugs into the power commander unit. Im setting up a quick shift setup thru the PC3 and need that plug.
