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.



Yep, and still others have an AC switch on them..

The only place I ever saw the filtered ones were on older plasmas, which is why I saved a bunch of these when recycling the hosts.. These were big, heavy, power pigs that drew a lot of current. I believe most of filter assys were good for 20 amps.
