Auxiliary Power Connector
 

Can anyone tell me where I can find a plug to fit this aux power socket in my bulldog?

Nexus is owned by Amphenol. I know nothing about Bulldogs, but although it's got 28V aux power written on it, it looks astonishingly like a TJ-120 rear-mount jack or a variation thereof. IF that's the case, then the plug would be something along the lines of a TP-101/102/120.

But I really hope someone here has better info than me!

Audio and Mic Jack socket
 

This does look like the NATO Headset connection. Old UK PO connector also.

Could the ext power label be a red herring....

Is it possible to look behind the panel, to see the wiring on the socket.

Ok I admit I am blonde! They must be the original NATO connector sockets that have been 're-allocated' after the Dog was converted to civi use. Why I didn't twig I'll never know, been using NATO comms kit for years!

next question
 

Just what current load, will this socket support, are the contacts break before make, etc.

I am assuming a 28v lorry battery trickle charger, connected thru the socket.

I will be drawing about 250ma through it. It has a 2 amp CB inline.
