Camera Power Connector
 
Just to save a lot of guessing, has anyone found a source for the power connector for the Axis camera? We want to swap them back and forth between our practice robot and competition robot so the power adapter ones only solve half the problem.

I'm not looking for the whole power adapter, just the connector on the end.

No ideas on the power connector, but why not just put quick disconnects on the wires?

Tried Radio Shack? They have a large selection of coalial DC power plugs.
Or, very carefully measure it and check DigiKey.com

It appears to me to be to be identical to last year's barrel connector.
Although Al insisted it wasn't in another thread.

It does work.

P.S.
Talked with Al. It seems his old barrel connector is not the same as mine, so you need to verify your own.
The outside barrel must be the correct fit, but also the inside center must not be loose (Al's issue) on the D-Link pin. Some barrel connectors have a larger center hole than others. The one we got with our Linksys in 2009/2010 has, in addition to the hole, a pair of spring contacts.
Here's a comparison shot of one of the Linksys wall-warts that matches the D-Link.

P.S.
Sorry I mis-read and had the D-Link instead of the Axis camera on my mind.

I hadn't thought about putting connectors on the power cables...that's a good idea if we can't find the right connector. The extra connectors would be another source of failure but porobably not a big deal.

The 5v Wago on the PDB isn't quick-disconnect enough for you?

We have several cameras on the robot, some a good distance from the PDB, so a connector closer to the camera would be in order.

Sometimes routing the wire over some complex landscape gets tiring after a while.

Let's see if I can't makeup for my previous way off topic post.

The Axis camera power connector appears to be a Radio Shack size "H" coaxial DC power plug.
I have one of those universal power supplies with the interchangeable tips.
