Eurocopter Auxiliary Power Plug
Hey guys,
Can someone tell me what the part number is for Eurocopters special power plug? I want to adapt it to make make an automotive style barrel connector that will be 24v. I just need the plug it-self so we can wire up a short pigtail converter. A part number and the price would be awesome. My local service dept uses them for the track and balance system but couldn't find the part number of just the plug it self in Eurocopter's system.
Here is a photo of the plug being used to charge a start-stick:

In the meantime my solution is to use Monster Audio speaker banana style plugs. They work great as long as you don't accidentally flip flop the positive and negative which will cook your USB charger.
Thanks!

Aux pwr connector male
Connector bi-polar male is 555A.Got one a few weeks ago. It fits the female socket 6410M. Cost about 300euro which when you get it you'll wonder how they get away with daylight robbery

In Europe I think that would not be allowed as a mod. I needed this same power take-off to make a Flymap 7 as a carry-off (not design / get approval for a MOD to have it "installed"). Daylight robbery, and a significant delay to source it.

I've been using the banana plugs for years now. Works fine, I used a sig-lighter splitter
with two female sig-lighter plugs, so I can charge both my GPS and my phone! :-)
You can add a diode if you're worried about accidentally swapping pos and neg.
Unless you want to sponsor Eurocopter (or AirBusCopter
) with their 350 euro plug!

Sounds a bit like the special string for the AS350 'sideslip indicator', I believe the genuine item cost a decent number of Euros if you didn't want to just put any piece of appropriately sized string there when it broke!
