We need a cable that goes from a standard UK 3-pin mains socket to the kind of connector shown on the left. I've just received a replacement power unit for our laptops, but they didn't come with the power connector, which is a pain.

Update: Wow, you lot are swift! It is an IEC 320 C5. Have ordered from Amazon - less than £4 including postage. Many thanks all!

I shall ask the Asher when he gets home, he's into computer & electronics obscurity.

It's actually a fairly standard lead.

I wouldn't know, I'm not into computers that much!

Ah, Dell laptops, that'll be why I've seen them before.

I might have one of these in a box of Stuff and Things - I'll have a look when I get home this evening.

I've bought them from Ebuyer in the past. A quick google turns up this (http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Peripherals/Cabling/Power/Cloverleaf+Standard+Power+Cable?productId=6601). The keyword you're looking for is "IEC320 C5", colloquially known as "cloverleaf".

For future reference http://www.molex.com/ are pretty good for obscure cables.
