where can I get those low voltage power plugs and recepticals?

[Johny Looser]

I am trying to build my own wall-wart pwer supply, and was wondering
what those small d.c. power plugs on the ends of the power supply were
called? I'm sure if I knew the correct name I could find dozens of them
on digi-key, but as it is I search for "power connector" and I get about
400 hits; everything from hosptial plugs to MIL-STD connectors, but not
what I am looking for. Could someone just tell me what they are called.

-Thanks

"Barrel connector"; " Coaxial power connector"...note that there is a
variety of internal diameters - plug and connector must have similar
size of centre pin to mate well.

You probably pay more for the plug than the total cost of an average
wall-wart made in China in quantities...
