I have a broken power output plug on my laptop psu.

It is like a svideo mini din plug but has 4 pins in a roughly
square formation except that the bottom pair of pins are slightly
closer together than the top pair. it has no plastic locator inside the
barrel of the plug but has two indented locators on the outer steel
barrel. The plug is round and has the same outward appearance as the
svideo plugs.


I have tried maplins and RS components but can not find them listed.

As I begrudge paying £60 for a new psu for the sake of a plug I would
be most grateful to anyone who could help me source one or who could
give me the proper name for the plug so that I can try further myself.


Thanks in advance Invadar.

I think you have ther correct term: mini-DIN, 4 pin/connector

(depending on which sex you need to fit or replace).
Here in the colonnies, there are a number of sources; to see what is
available, look in Digikey, Mouser or Jameco.
Digikey: http://dkc3.digikey.com/PDF/T052/0257.pdf
Mouser: http://www.mouser.com/catalog/622/877.pdf
Jameco:
http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CatalogSearchResultView?langId=-1&storeId=10001&catalogId=10001&searchType=k&searchValue=mini%20din&categoryId=302010

Basically, use the search facility and tyoe in "mini din" no quotes...
