Is there a plug to connect a specific heater strap 3.5mm plug to a Kendrick type unit

Hi all,


I purchased and Kendricks dew heater unit and two straps for my OTAs yesterday and installed these.

Bintel said put the heater straps on the OTA exactly where the front lens will be within my lens cap - so I did and left them on last night at about 30% power. I plugged the Kendricks unit in to an old 12V 4amp transformer and it seemed to work well.


I think the Kendrick unit has a very flimsy looking on off switch - hmmm...

But the point of my post - I have a heating strap I would like to put on my 88mm guide scope. i just have to figure a way to connect its i guess 3.5mm transformer plug to the RCA type it appears Kendricks use?

Does Jaycar or anyone sell such a converter and what are they called?

Is this safe to do?

Thanks, Matt
