That must be one of the 2 most popular connectors on the planet. There

And here across the pond as well. I've got a few dozen of these with
filtering cans on the back side culled from plasma parts before recycling.

They're great for adding to older equipment. Clean simple way of adding a
ground, easily replaceable cord, and the filtering doesn't hurt either.


Sometimes you can get them with built in fuse holder too.

You can get the basic connector, but the filtered ones aren't rare - a nice
touch if there's room for the filter block.
