Horizons I just soldered a connector to my new power supply (see separate thread) this morning. I used Switchcraft part #760. http://www.switchcraft.com/products/jack-146.html
Available from Mouser, part #502-760 for 2.38. It is very high quality part and fits perfectly. I manufactured an item using this part. It was a very difficult application, dust, moisture, high current, physical abuse. I sold over 2000 of them with never one problem. I gave a lifetime guarantee. Yes, I know it is just a plug, but the metallurgy prevents corrosion and the solder tabs are large, it is designed for high current, up to 5A. The handle is screw on, with plenty of room inside for amateur soldering style. Avoid junk Chinese made parts from Radio shack. They are not designed to pass current above 100ma. Hot (red) goes to the center pin, on the 760 plug that is the short solder tab. Use your voltmeter, set to DC to check the polarity after you are done soldering. Stick the red probe into the hole in the end of the plug and then touch the black probe to the sleeve of the plug. You should get 5 volts POSITIVE. If there is a negative sign in front of the 5, you are wired backwards. Do this test on the stock power supply to learn what it should look like if you don't understand my story. Enjoy your new power supply. If is anything like mine, ohmygod what a difference. All the trouble is worth it. You will double the performance easily.
