I' ve got a few devices that run on 12VDC and use barrel plugs. Instead of having 7 power bricks on a long power strip, I want to consolidate them all into a single port on my 14.5 VDC power supply. Most devices are 2 amps and lower current draw. Where could I get just the plug that I can solder on feed wires? Also, What is a good DC distribution panel? I have one now but it has no enclosure. Neither does my power supply.

Radio Shack sells the coaxial plugs (or used to - haven't checked today). You can also try eBay.

For the enclosure, I like the West Mountain "Rig Runner" Power Pole strips. The fuses are built in and even have LEDs to indicate which is blown.

Here is a page with those and some less expensive knock-offs. NOTE: The real cheap ones have no fuses.
