I have a 12v 6.67A power supply with a male co-axial plug (with centre pin) that’s 7.4mm OD and 5.08mm ID. The metal tube is 12.5mm long.
The pin is recessed and about 1mm in diameter - which seems impossibly small for 6.67A.
A chassis mount socket that would take it would come in handy. But I don’t seem to be able to find one. Am I just using the wrong search terms?
Any pointers much appreciated.
Nope, good guess, but the power supply is from a Philips Respironics Dream Station https://www.cpap.co.uk/product/dreamstation-80w-power-supply/
But you are correct - there does seem to be a recessed metal inner sleeve. I had looked for one, but couldn’t see one - tried again after your post (with a brighter light!)
I still need a chassis mount socket for it, though…
There is a 12v car lead - which makes me wonder if that centre pin is actually used at all…

I guess you could check if it’s a physical fit for an HP (or Dell or Samsung) one and then go to ebay or aliexpress and buy a corresponding “laptop charger socket”. Though they’re all board mount. I don’t know if any panel mount ones even exist.
Thanks for the suggestion - I think that there are inline adapters to a different plug, but finding a different coaxial plug that will handle that current could prove challenging.
