Keeping the IEC connector snug (US)..
Ok, so twice now I've had the IEC power connection come lose from just barley touching the associated cable behind my system while dusting off the area around the connection... Seems like with the stock "cheap" cables, the IEC remains connected much better than with the much heavier after market cables, and the actual IEC connector (big well known brand) is made of a relatively hard plastic that just slides out too easily.
Is there a trick to keeping these snug and fit on the power supply of the associated component? |

What type of duplex do you have if you are talking the plug into the wall? Some also have tighter tolerances than others... If I misunderstood and you literally mean the IEC into your component, your only recourse could be propping the cable up as tolerances can vary. |

If I remember correctly, the recommendation I'd read in the past is to wrap Teflon tape around the plug on the IEC (female) end of the cord to make the connection more snug.

I use Furutech NCF Boosters to support the IEC end connecting to the gear. Not too expensive, and works like a champ.
