I've been looking for a chassis mount 3 pin DIN connector, that 1). Doesn't have those butt ugly bolt on "dog ears", and 2) don't cost an arm and a leg. What I want is something that is preferably black (plastic works), that can mount onto a 1/16" thick plastic/metal faceplate, and doesn't need two extra nuts and bolts to do it (i.e., has a round bezel on the outside, with a nut that threads onto the body from the backside). I did find a somewhat suitable looking part at Mouser that had a big nut that secured it to the back of the faceplate, but they want like $4.00 a piece for them. They use to have a snap in part that was cheaper (similar to a snap in rocker switch), but I guess the Mfg. has dicontinued it according to them. BTW, already checked out digikey and MCM Electronics, and they have nothing suitable. Any leads are greatly appreciated!
