I've got an AC powercord I'm gonna use for the amp I'm building, but I need a fitting that will hold it in place into the chassis...something like this:



Where can I get one?  Anyone know a Mouser pt#?  I looked through my catalog but couldn't find one.

Thanks :)

I think that theyre call rubber grommets.  Mouser should have them, but you may find someting useful in a hardware store.

They're called "strain reliefs". Mouser and DigiKey both sell many different styles. The one in the picture above requires a special pair of pliers to correctly install. I used to have such a tool. http://www.mouser.com/catalog/625/1383.pdf

Try these: http://www.mouser.com/catalog/625/1382.pdf DIY friendly and they have a European sort of look.

^Great, thanks, I searched ALL OVER for "stress relief."  Small error, but suprisingly fatal.
