Jameco has a 14/3 2.5m power cable in black for $3.95 each, part number
125541 but they use a generic pic for the illustration so I don't know that
it has the notch but I can put that in if not - I just want a cable that has
the cajones to handle the juice I send through it. They also have my
heatsinks so it's time to cut an order - they've been faithfully sending me
expensive catalogs for years and I haven't ordered from them in probably 2
of the last years.
It appears that most of the US shipped/made heating devices have either a
proprietary plug or are wired fixed with a restraining grommet (I know
there's another name for them, I can't think of it). I even checked with an
appliance dealer here - no good they didn't have aclue even after I faxed
them the end view of the plug with an arrow to the notch I needed to pay
special attention to -makes you feel good about the "experts in the field"
whn it comes to high current appliances huh?
