RE: Name that part

In InfoCenter, look for the Physical Planning reference.  You can find
the plug type in there.  They are industry standard connectors, so once
you find the name of the plug type, call a local commercial electrical
supplier to get the part.  Or buy it from IBM for approx. 1/2 the 720's
value.

Subject: Name that part

I got a "leftover" iSeries model 720 from a customer which was packed by
IBM and shipped cross country.  The box itself was basically free.  It
isn't under maintenance. It was insured for replacement value only.

Well, in packing the thing up, the CE just shrink-wrapped it with the
power "jumper" cables still plugged in in the back. The cowling that
would normally protect the stuff at the back was removed to give it a
square shape.  Presumably, when the box was pushed up against the side
of the truck, the power cords bent, and broke out, most of the power
supply outlets/sockets. 

The good news is that the outlets/sockets themselves just have "slide
on" connectors that make them easy to replace (well, almost, the male
versions in the power supply itself were soldered in). But now I have to
figure out where to get these replacement outlet/sockets.  They look
like this: (about 1"x2")

OK. When you stop laughing perhaps you can give me an idea of how I
would describe this.  There are both male and female varieties. On the
power supply (PN 44H7779) it is a male socket.  The others are female. I
need about three of each.  The female version has the manufacturer as
Kautt u. Bux but the only clear number I can make out is SFF 950.  No
hits on Google..

Any ideas?
