What’s this connection called?

[Shpark]

Family member has a reading light. Has a 24v supply from a mains socket. The tranny in the plug had gone and looking for a replacement. Anyone know what this is called?

It looks like a speaker plug.

A lot of Ikea table lamps etc use transformers with these DIN plugs

Had a google of din and that looks like it. Can’t seem to find a replacement with a 24v supply though. Guess I’ll have to make my own

Yep, a 2 pin DIN plug aka speaker plug. Used on budget hifi stuff in the 1970s (and by some decent brands who should have known better!).

Now used commonly on ELV lighting.

It seems the 2-pin DIN connectors were popular on christmas lights, and indeed desk lamps etc. years ago, but have fallen out of favour now. Also with the migration away from traditional transformers, there are few 'plug in' replacement options for your family's defunct transformer.

Would this provide enough current? If the lamp has a filament bulb, this may not be beefy enough.
But if I understand correctly, it has the right socket!

You could always buy a standard mains adapter and fit one of these.

Just check that it is the pins are the same size as the original.
What wattage transformer is the original?

Nightmare. I may just see if I can some up with another 24v supply. Splice the cables together

Surely the op needs a socket to put on the new transformer, not a plug ?
