Cables for 12v TV and satellite box

I run mine off the cigarette lighter plugs. You can buy the made up cords at JCar still I think! When I got mine they had the correct size plug for the telly etc!

You could try Repco, I have purchased a few of the merrit plugs, they have a red ring that can be removed, the red ring allows it to fit a normal ciggy socket.

What size is the TV plug You could just buy the bits and make one Jaycar sell all the bits and half an hour with a soldering iron should fix it.
Jaycar have 15 different DC plugs ($1.95) and 3 different Merit plugs ($6.95) plus some wire
All up $12

Sadly, lately DS had very little in the way of "different" types of leads

Bought our 12v tv/DVD unit from Kogan and they sell the lead seperatly as well. Cig lighter to tv works a treat. Also operates on 240v

Thanks heaps for lots of great information guys. Wealth of knowledge on exploroz.

"DC Power" plugs come in a multitude of sizes, both O.D. and pin diameter, so you need to be very careful when selecting one to fit an appliance. Jaycar list 12 sizes.
And it can be difficult to identify the pin or I.D.

There is another way which may suit you Kirk..........
Cut the cable close to your 240v/12v "transformer". Fit an inline Merit socket (Jaycar PS-2096) to the cable of the transformer.
Fit a Merit plug (Jaycar PP-2090) to the cable going to the TV.
Fit a Merit panel socket (Jaycar PS-2092) to your 12v dc supply.
You will then be able to easily connect to your 12v dc battery supply or to your 240v transformer as required.
Be careful of maintaining polarities when connecting the cut cable to the Merit plugs.
Your Jaycar store should stock these items but could get them in if necessary.
