DIY 12v power trigger module with IEC C13/C14 connectors

[blunile]

I run a class-A headphone amplifier which is a Nelson Pass's Aleph amplifier. It was a diy-community project in Korea 16 years ago and is still my definate favorate over Topping A70 Pro which I recently purchased.

However it doesn't have 12v power trigger feature which I find very useful in Wiim Ultra. I did a web search and found this which seemed like a perfect solution.

AUDIOPHONICS Trigger 12V 110V/230V Slave Power Supply Device - Audiophonics

The Audiophonics Trigger 12V is the simple and effective solution for turning on and off any appliance connected to 110V or 230V AC mains with an IEC female mains input

Instead of ordering the module, I decided to make one myself because I wanted to customize configuration of IEC connectors to my amplifier for perfect fit.

Everything was purchased at Aliexpress.

I resoldered DC terminal rotating it 180 degree, but it wasn't really necessay.

I share this for Noobs like me

Happy with the result

Did you use a short bolt and nut to attach the C14 sockets. I can’t quite see from the photos?

Just built one of these tonight. But I took a slightly different approach and spliced the box into a 2M kettle lead and enclosed it in a WagoBox Pro. Then have a 3.5mm jack lead coming out of the box up to the trigger out on my pre-amp.

All in cost me £18 from Amazon in bits, and works a treat. Loving to be able to power my vintage Audiolab 8000PX from my 6000A

Is there away to make a power sensing 12v output. So when it sense a current say over 2 Watts it sends out a 12v signal?
