Whatever power strip that has a ground connection should work but I'm not certain. I got mine from a broken power strip. Ill include a picture of what the part looks like. Assembly Instructions Install the heat set inserts-- the nine M3 inserts go into the top portion of the model. The two 4-40 ones should be installed into the bottom portion of the model where the cable clamp is. Cut the cord from the "Cable From Outlet to Switch" and snake it through the opening for the switch. Add heat shrink wrap to ends of the leads. Solder the hot and neutral cables to the switch, then solder two more cables to the other side of the switch. Add heat shrink wrap to other side of switch as well Push the switch into position. Install cable with cable clamp with 4-40 screws. Cut the other leads from the switch to length and add heat shrink wrap to leads Solder the leads to the pieces of bus bar from the power strip paying attention to the orientation of the leads on the piece of bus bar. The leads must come off the pieces of bus bar from the side as to not interfere with the print. Put the pieces of bus bar in place. Close assembly and screw together. Mark out a 120degree angle from the center of a washer and cut. Install magnets with glue of choice in pockets on the top of case. Install the cut washer with glue of choice into small slot for washer on the top of the case.
