Electronics Symbols

[GenMarshall]

Since I am planning to create a device for my laptop's power input (once its fixed). I need to find out symbols for electronic components like the example shown here:

The following symbols I would like to know are the following:

1. The Power inlet normaly found in CD players, Laptops, and other electronics

2. The power plug that is normaly at the end of the wall addapter.

Thanks.

Note: This is a general electronics question. I was not sure weather to post it in OT or Computer talk.

1. That could be a problem, there is a multitude of possibilities for your laptops input, such as shape and voltage

2. Last row, third from the left

I found out that for question #2 that its called a Coaxial power plug, which is the component symbol im looking for. I am looking for the Coaxial Power Plug and the Coaxial Power inlet

Here are the pictures of the components that I am looking for its electronic symbol.

Coaxial Power Outlet/plug

Since the above link for the "Coaxial Power Inlet" is not showing. I am attaching the picture of it here.

That above picture looks like a co-ax antenna plug and socket to me, not a power connector.
Also the Coaxial Power Outlet/plug type comes in several different sizes too, and finding a socket could be difficult.

No that's definitly not a antenna plug. The central contact is much smaller. But you are right that co-ax comes in many shapes and sizes, and that it will be difficult for Civgeneral to find info on which one is correct.

@Civgeneral your best bet is to head over to radio shack with the laptop and try a whole bunch of connectors.

What voltage does it require? If it's 6, 9, or 12 volts you can get a $20 adapter that comes with many prongs for you to use.

@Perfection: I don't know what standard TV antenna plugs look like in the US, but the plugs in post#4 are absolutely identical to the ones used in the UK.

Well they do look like A/V cable and I suspect they could be, which is used in the states as video input from VCRs and DVD players, but not attena inputs.
