Hi colinf - can you assume that a 250VAC rated connector is good for around 250/1.41 = 171 VDC?

Hi Owen, yes as it’s within the 353Vdc rating. (250 x √2). DC is only a problem when you disconnect live power connections as the arc produced can wear the contact quickly.
Also a reminder to use the female version on the output of the power supply. Another tip...when disconnected after being powered, the male receiving end (usually the preamp etc) needs to have a resistor shunt across the DC HT line to discharge it, so that if you touch the male pins accidentally you don’t get a shock.
