Wondering if anyone knows how I might obtain coil cord. Looking for a 5
wire, 22 gauge conduit via coil cord similar to a telephone handset to base
cord.
Thank you,
Andy

That can be tough. I've had several custom coil
cords quoted for a product but as a general
rule, these are not an off-the-shelf product.
They are manufactured to a specific application.
Your best bet is to find an existing cord from
which you can cut out a length suitable to your
needs. The only thing I could find in a hurry . . .

Looks good to me. The gauge is off but I just need to carry a small 50 mA current from a switch to a relay. Maybe 2 feet total.
Beautiful, thank you!

Just got home from the Post Office and had
an inspiration. I've been using the I-Go
universal automotive power adapters for
some years. The product consists of a switch-
mode power supply mounted in a cigar lighter
module . . .
[img]cid:.0[/img]
The appliance-end of the device mounts a "power tip"
that not only mates with your appliance of choice, it communicates
with the power supply on the other end to customize
its output to be consistent with the appliance. When you
pull the adapter off we see . . .
[img]cid:.1[/img]
Given the highly customized nature of this connector pair
and the huge production volumes, I doubt that they put
'extra' pins in the connector just for grins. but I could
be wrong. I'm reluctant to cut my adapter up but you can
get one from your local Radio Shack
http://tinyurl.com/29984nq
No doubt other electronics outlets sell them too. When you
cut the connector off, leave a long enough pig-tail so that
should you discover that the coil cord contains fewer than
your needed 5 wires (or my best-guess of 6 wires) you'll
at least be able to splice it back together and press it
into service elsewhere.
Another possible source is the "wall wart" box found
at many thrift stores. I've often found wall-warts having
ratings suitable to some task . . . then generally cost
$1.00 or less. I've seen automotive power cords in these
boxes too. One just MIGHT turn up an IGo cord.
Option 3. Just checked Ebay and purchased a power cord
for $4 including shipping. As soon as it gets here, I'll
dissect the thing and report findings to the group.

wow,
if this is a typical response from this group, I am very grateful.
Thanks very much Bob for your time here. I’ll definitely look into these options.
Thanks again,
Andy

As well,
you got me thinking on doing a search for “coiled power cord” and came across this site:
http://www.philatron.com/NewCatalog/TAB7/Coiled_Cords_24-22Gauge.html
Not sure on pricing, I’ll check tomorrow.
Thanks again for the detailed research --
Andy
