I have loads of DIN speaker plugs with screw-terminal connections for the

onto.

I'm just getting one of my old Armstrong 626s refurbished/tweaked, so want
to make up four din speaker plug to binding post adaptors. But I only have
a couple of solderable din speaker plugs - and these will be ones that I've
already used.

So far as I can tell, the screw-terminal ones are from CPC. I can't find a
solderable alternative there or when I look on the Maplin website. And I
stopped bothering with Maplin some years ago because they

A) never sent a new catalogue or even a reminder when one was out.

B) expect you to pay for their catalogue when CPC don't. And CPC cover far
more items.

So anyone know if Maplin do this, and the part number, etc? Failing that,
another source?

N.B. I don't use Ebay or Amazon. Prefer companies established in the UK I
can buy from via post, etc.

N.B. 2 I still have plenty of DIN signal plugs, leads, etc. No problems
there. :-)

Maplin HH24B "Maplin DIN 2 Pin Plug"
claims to be a "DIN standard plug with solder connections"
Unfortunately one of the two photos shows a DIN 3-pin signal plug,
though the other shows a speaker plug.

Or if you want one ready made with a cable attached,
an IKEA JANSJÖ LED lamp uses a DIN speaker plug. :-)
