All--
Do you know where I can find "2.1 mm, center-positive connector for DC power" as on the PDB or BOE? I have been searching Jameco to no avail. Is there a more common name for this component?
Thanks.

If not other places, try ebay:

They are in both 2.1 x 5 mm and 2.1 x 5.5 mm and 9.5, 10 or 14mm shaft.
Very common and should not be difficult to find in a nearby store I think.
Panel mount "female":

I keep at least 3 Male and 3 female on tap here .
coaxial barrle plug is common name too.
Thanks!
I ordered some of these from Jameco . . .
Why can't I post an inline link using this new forum? Is it me? (I wanted to make the word "these" hot, but I see no way to do it.)
EDIT: Looks like I figured it out!

As seen on picture it seems difficult to fix them to the PCB, the connection pins looks flat and probably needs very large holes compared to normal pins. I don't know.. maybe no problem at all.
That is a nice datasheet!
Yes, the pins are flat and I will have to perform a bit of surgery on the PCB to make it work. But, it appears Parallax used connectors with the same pins. If Parallax can do it, then I will at least attempt it!
I have quite a bit of experience butchering stuff to make it fit!

Oh yes, I'm sure that won't stop your project :smilewinkgrin:
