Hi everyone.
I have an old 1980's computer. The power lead appears to be a moulded .75mm flex that feeds into the power supply and is connected on L and N using a female spade connector, the earth is a ring. The computer is fused at the plug with a 3amp fuse. It's damaged and I want to replace the whole thing with a new flex which I have purchased. I find it odd the new one comes with a 13 amp fuse but will swap for 3 amp.
I bought a new crimping tool which came with the red, blue & yellow but only red female spade with no insulation and they look flimsy... can anyone tell me whether there is a better source of decent quality connectors that are better for this usage? I can't seem to find any anywhere. They all seem to be automotive.
Thanks
Graham
