Power supply cable for Zaon MRX
I am installing a DC power cable for the Zaon MRX in my glider so I don’t need to worry about feeding it AA cells. The Zaon has a 2.35mm OD/0.7mm ID barrel style DC power jack and it is hard to find good quality plugs to fit these.
DigiKey has these plugs available with preassembled cables here. Right angle plugs, overmoulded strain relief with 6′ of 11 strand AWG 24 wire with bare ends. I brought ten for myself and some other pilots.
BTW the MRX comes with a cigarette lighter adapter to this power plug. I still needed this for club glders I fly and so did not want to sacrifice cutting it up. That adapter cable is just wired straight through with an LED added to show there is DC power. The MRX has internal power regulation and can take 12-40 volt input on it’s DC power plug.
