I’m looking for a power supply, external, 300W+, 24V, and found the PUP330N3-14 and the FSP330-AAAN3. Very nice format on these two. They are both delivered with DIN 4-pin FEMALE connector. Why so? It seems as if the standard is to have MALE connectors on the PSU and a FEMALE pcb header, like the KPJXHT-4S-S. Where can I find a mating male connector to these two PSUs?
Greetings,
Preferred practice is to build equipment capable of sourcing power such that it’s difficult to accidentally make contact with live conductors. To the extent that one sees wall/desk warts of the type that don’t adhere to this practice, the supply is likely either very limited in output capability or a sketchy make-do sort of affair with potential to get somebody it trouble.
These look like a few options one may wish to consider.

Thanks for your answer, Rick. Your logic about protecting the conductors makes good sense. The mating connectors you suggest are all cable mounted, but I need a PCB mounted. The strange thing about DIN connectors is that there are no male PCB connectors (panel mount do exist, though, article T 3302 550). Easiest is to select a PSU with a 6-pin rectangular Molex instead, which is a pity considering the nice form factor of the mentioned PSUs.
