While not a Zerozone product, I'm experimenting by ditching the 2-pin aviation connector (aka Cobra plug) for the detachable DC umbilical of a Studer900 PSU. The back panel cut-out hole is 16mm so it can accommodate a 3/8" strain relief bushing (cable gland) in order to hardwire a DC umbilical to the circuit board.
Actually a "semi-hardwired" DC umbilical, since the PCB features a set-screw type DC output terminal, so no removal of the circuit board is required to make permanent solder joints.
So it's easy to swap-out various DC umbilical builds by simply opening the top of the enclosure via the four screws near the top. Make sure to implement robust strain relief where the DC umbilical is clamped by the cable gland, and for the first few inches of the cable where it exits the enclosure. I'm working on yet another DIY DC umbilical build that seems promising, especially for a hardwired DC umbilical project, this time for a Zerozone 50VA PSU.
