Can't find a 7.4 x 5.08mm female chassis mount socket - am I using the wrong description? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I have a 12v 6.67A power supply with a male co-axial plug (with centre pin) that's 7.4mm OD and 5.08mm ID. The metal tube is 12.5mm long.

The pin is recessed and about 1mm in diameter - which seems impossibly small for 6.67A.

A chassis mount socket that would take it would come in handy. But I don't seem to be able to find one. Am I just using the wrong search terms?

Any pointers much appreciated.

From that description it sounds a little bit like the CUI PJ-096 ? Not a common connector type AFAIK

(Found it via connectorbook.com)

Brilliant! Thanks you so much for taking the time and effort to help me with this - and for mentioning "CONNECTORBOOK.COM" so I can add that as a useful reference. Not a chassis mount but that always was a mission impossible to find, I suspect.
