This is really dumb! I just spent the last hour looking on Amazon, Mauser, PartsExpress and ebay for a part. I must be using the wrong wording terminology as my searches are coming up with very few good hits.
I'm looking to repair the broken USB power cable on my wife's eye mask heater (when I replaced the USB wire I had to find a USB cable with 20AWG wire as 22AWG wasn't supplying enough current for the device to properly heat up). I need to put a male & female connector on the new USB cable to join it with the little in-line timer controller for the heater.
As I said, my original searches for "coaxial DC power plug and jack inline" (solder on) came up with almost no good hits. Is is there better wording to use? I would also be open to another type of in-line, non shorting, light weight connector to use to join the wires. Was thinking maybe RCA.
* side note - I started out with a pair of DC power plugs M/F that I had in my spare parts. The female connector was so junky that even the slightest amount of solder heat made the center pin spin and it never made a reliable connection with the other connector. So whatever the solution I use I need something that wont disconnect every time she breathes!
Thanks
