<p class="MsoNormal">Hi<br>
<br>
For some of my live gear I use DIN connectors with a threaded fixing.<br>

Those are Lumberg SV series. The connection stand even Bavarian taxi drivers on cobbelstone roads. ;-)<br>
<br>
I'd be also interested in a lockable IEC C14 connection. Has anyone experience with those:

<br>
<br>
PS: I understand Michaels objection against open contacts having the load, but in the case of the Lumbergs there is a very little chance that a short will happen.<br>
