Circuit Breaker plug

Post by astaib »

Hello,

Do you know if I can find this part (circuit breaker plug) elsewhere than Diamond?

Thanks

You can. I don't recall the actual source but I had to add a CB when I added a USB supply. I plugged the part number into a search window and added "circuit breaker" and found the manufacturer.

Ah. You mean to plug empty spots. I think these are pretty standard holes. I know what I'd do:

1. Look to find a match at the local hardware store. Here in the US there is a high probability of success this way.
2. Check outfits like AC Spruce or Sky Geek.
3. Get some from Diamond. For little parts like this I've not found price to be a big deal. I recently ordered 2 Jackpoint bases and 2 nosewheel pivot nuts and it cost me $22.00 altogether.
