Snap and lock DC power connectors (Transformer connection)

(take note that the power connection is a larger diameter than the Mini-DIN connectors)


Did some searching.

"These connectors look similar to Mini DIN connectors, but have either 3 or 4 thicker pins and a slightly larger mating shell. Because of this they do not mate with any of the Mini DIN connectors. They can usually be identified by an engraved symbol on the backs of the plug, consisting of two wide arrows pointing in opposite directions, but parallel to each other, or sometimes one wide arrow inside a box, pointing towards the end of the male connector. Some devices, however, do use a standard 4-pin Mini-DIN connector, presenting the possibility for non-technical users to mate the connector with the wrong port (such as an S-Video output on a video card).

* Also known as Power Mini-DIN or Power DIN
* The male plug's mating shell outer diameter is 10 mm (0.394 inch), and the pins are 1.5 mm diameter
* Standard may include a limit of 20 V at 7.5 amperes
* 4-pin
* Kycon part number KPPX-4P (RoHS)"

and here is a blow up view of the part.

For the Marklin 60061 60 VA Switched Mode Power Pack, 230 Volts

If I remember correctly pin #1 (lower left) was power and pin #2 (Lower Right) was ground?

Pin #3 (Upper Left) Not used and Pin #4 (Upper Right) not used.


Marklin item # 120722 this is the Kycon plug and 18AWG (1.02mm) 2 conductor pre wired?

For the Mini DIN connections such as the Booster 60173, Aux, or SX see this:

I have now come across some power supplies that have the 4 pin Kycon KPPX-4P used by Marklin for the CS2 power input. Need to confirm proper power and return pin setting.

These are manufactured by XP and sold by Newark and sister company Farnell.

I have the Mini DIN connector on a couple of external hard disk power supply, then, IMHO, looking in this direction you can find a ready made one.
Don't know if the voltage would be correct, though as voltage for hard disks is lower.

Important to recognize the difference between MINI - DIN and Snap and lock DC power connectors. Also known as Power Mini-DIN or Power DIN notice that the power connection is a larger diameter than the Mini-DIN connectors. See my post #2.


The larger Snap and lock DC power connector is indeed available pre wired with cable. However it is set as Pin 1 & 2 as + with Pin 3 & 4 as -.
