90* AC plug w/ IEC

Does anyone know where to get a short power cable with a 90* or very low profile plug on the AC side? I have a friend that needs one for a projector... and the AC plug is getting in the way.

Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks,
Carl

Carlman,

I don't know how "good" this powercord has to be, but could you put an IEC end to one of those heavy duty extension cord that has a 90 degree AC plug?

Carlman: We build them. I bought a bunch for Doc B. & Bottlehead who wanted a 90 degree for his line of gear.

They are essentially the same price as our standard Asylum Cord.

You can buy a 90º AC plug and reterminate your current cord too. takefiveaudio.com I know sells some, there are probably various others. I seem to remember an electronic site that sold volex like power cords with 90º plugs on them. I could look it up if you are looking for cheap and easy solution.

P.S. the º symbol can be made by holding down the "alt" key and typing "167". One of those useless things I somehow have memorized.

Josh, thañks. For some reason I can never remember the alt key for º. I cañ always remember the little used ñ key. the 1/4 and 1/2 are especially useful too... but I can never remember which number they are either.

'Cheap and easy' are the exact words I'd use to describe this requirement. Volex would be ideal. I looked on Mouser, Digikey.. but couldn't find it easily.. Work has been very taxing lately so I only get a few seconds at a time to look up things and 'play'

Thanks for the suggestions! The extension cord idea sounds good too... cheap and custom... And if he wants 'good-custom', I'll tell him to call Kevin.

Thanks,
Carl
