Does anyone know what sort of connector is used on Keis heated clothing? The supplied cables are all male and female versions but all in-line connectors, I want to source a couple of panel-mount sockets.

TIA :thumb2
 
They are coax cables.
The only decent panel mount sockets I've seen are Gerbings but I'm told the sockets are different sizes.
I was thinking of cutting the coax plug off my Keis insoles and sticking on a Gerbing one.
Then I (hope I) can use the Gerbing panel mount and "warm n safe" heat troller.

Surely it's just two wires inside the cable?

I have Powerlet heated gear which has co-ax sockets and are compatible with Gerbing however I lent some gear to a friend who had a Keis heated jacket and the sockets were not compatible - as you say, a slightly different diameter.
 
Update ... I found that there's probably a dozen different sizes of what are very similar plugs/sockets .... ever tried a different charger lead on a laptop! In the end I used a dedicated Keis power lead with the in-line connector cable tied to where I needed it.
It was for my car which with no roof or heater has been a little chilly through the winter! Toastie warm with my Keis vest though :thumb2
