Power Supply Switch

[duffy_lane]

I have a 1 spot cs6 I'd like to mount under my desk so I can have tabletop pedals always plugged in but not on.
Has anyone added an on/off switch to their power supply or found a direct passthrough iec type thing like this?
Any other ideas? I want the switch to be on, or, right next to the power supply.

Search for "power cable switch interuptor IEC" ...

Personally, I'd like an all-in-one molded plug with breaker switch that does away with the cable between the plugs and switch.
Alas, there are none that I could find, only the male-receiver switches that have to be wired up on the other side and mounted on some form of wall-like barrier...

Something like this, but with the female IEC on the other side...

JUST SAY NO TO "DONGLES"!
Something like this solid "Y" adapter, but replace one of the plugs with a switch.

Switch on top or on the side... make the centre section rotatable, so you can have the switch on whatever side you need to orient the plugs correctly and have the switch still accessible... BONUS points if it can rotate AND switch-up/down to right angles... Really, just give me one of the following with the switch also molded in...

TOO much to freq'n ask for?


Seems bloody obvious to me! Why has no one made this before?




I'm going to have to buy the plugs, a switch and a small plastic project box and tailor make one with hot-glue epoxy...

Ahh nevermind, I'm confusing the CS6 and CS12.

I've been trying to find a good solution for this for while. I don't particularly like that the TrueTone power supplies don't have a switch. I've been considering a patch box with two female IEC sockets and an interrupt switch between them, but I haven't gotten terribly far in the design of it.

@Feral Feline that's exactly what I was hoping to find haha.
Thinking about grabbing the adapter in the first pic and using double sided tape to stick the switch somewhere close.

Those angled connectors are really cool though. If I had the tools I'd totally make an enclosure that plugs into the back of the power supply with one of those. Keep us posted

I use this with my CS6

That's great Sylv9st9r, now why don't they make it for IEC type plugs?

In your link, there was a cool wireless-switch option that might suit duffy_lane's needs.




I searched "IEC Adapter–Male Kettle (C14) to Female (C13)– Flat 10A Power Plug with switch" ... still nothing quite like what I'm after.

Still figuring out what all the "C##" is (no, not C double sharp, number-number, like ... pizza-pizza), C-numbering.


That aforementioned hot-glue mess...
It's going to be months before I can get to this, if I remember to do it at all by then. If need arises in my soon-to-be-new situation, then obviously it shall be built.
