It about the cheapest nastiest connector ever made.


They used to be used for speaker connections IIRC, and few have such
speakers now so they probbaly got a good deal on them from a suplier or
scrap merchant


I have seen a lot of wall warts with these connectors, and *none* have
been DIN speaker connectors (I have some of those, and I compared them).
They may look the same on a photo, but they are quite a bit bigger.
