I would like to be able to install the mini C8 type power connectors on some gear that I am modifying to have a detachable power cable or internal power supply. For that I need a hole that is 25mm x 12mm (maybe 12.5mm) rectangle. I have been unsuccessful finding one. Sure, I could drill 4 tiny holes and connect them with a Dremel, but the punch is sooooo much nicer. Is there some secret source for these that I need to know about? I believe someone on here recommended the ones I have now….
