Title: Connector tip for HD-P2?
Post by: laptaper on July 11, 2007, 07:36:08 PM

I'm trying to find a connector (power plug) that will fit in to where the AC adaptor normally goes on my HD-P2, so that I can plug a battery pack into it.  Radio Shack doesn't have it.  FYI the output on the adapter is 12v(+) 2.5 amps.  Any idea where I can find the right connector, short of cutting it off my AC adapter?  Thanks.

Yep it works great.  It's nice to have the same battery for both my UA-5 and HD-P2 def makes things easy.  I was even at Rat Shack today getting new adaptaplug stuff for my HD-P2.  The cable included with the battery works but it's a tad loose.  If you plan on making you own rs adaptaplug for it here are the rs part numbers

F to F Adaptaplug Cable #273-1740
Adaptaplug M #273-1716
Adaptaplug B #273-1705

cutting it off isnt bad if you soulder an xlr between

Thanks!  I guess judging from the diagram on RS's site that Adaptaplug B is the part that goes into the AC adapter socket on the HD-P2?
