My laptop power supply came with a standard UK to clover leaf lead plus an additional UK13A plug direct to the cloverleaf allowing the power supply to be mounted direct.
I could do with some more of them for other PSUs but cannot locate any, and so far cannot find a picture online either. Does any know of any suppliers?

Try these guys MHC. I use them to build custom power leads for some of my projects.

They may have the direct cloverleaf adapter you're seeking or know where to get one.

|
|
Tried them ... No and they have not come across them either.

Thanks, The first is the type I'm looking for although maybe rotated by 90degrees. Interesting they claim it to be pure copper when it is not!
This will be for small power supplies though ...

What sort of power supply and rating is it to the laptop - USB-C style?
|
|
|
The laptop ones are 45w USB-C supplies, but need these for other devices - down in the 10-20w range.
The Dell supplied ones work really well will no need for the chunky mains cable especially when moving around - the USB-C is around 1.8m so ideal.

Fair enough. I had a passing thought as I'm waiting on a couple of these medium power USB-C chargers to arrive today from Amazon.

They look OK, will see how they last.

The Dell ones are: https://www.dell.com/en-uk/work/shop/dell-uk-45-watt... but they only mention the standard power cord and not te extra "adapter".
Some of the items I need to power are USB-C and other various plugs. Just trying to make it all neat and tidy!

Yes precisely why I’m looking at those units from Amazon as they look to provide a nice small, tidy solution that can supply 66 watts with 2 x USB-C and 1 good old USB-A
|
|
|
Although will they work in adjacent sockets? The USB cable might need a tight bend.
It is the coax ones that are a pain for me.

Looks good to me so far. Nothing blocked and quite narrow and short front to back.

Now to see how much juice it can pump into the the X390 Yoga and MacBook

I suspect that none of the adaptors are compliant with BS1363 which is why reputable people in the UK have not heard of them.
|
|
|
They look OK, will see how they last. They look good, as they have the international plug options. I'm using one of these at the moment, which is fixed with UK plug, but has 3 USB-C outputs + 1 USB-A: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B088CZ8CYG

It meets BS1363 and I would doubt if Dell would supply them if it did not.
What make you suggest they would not be compliant?

Yeah the 4-way international plug set is a nice bonus, supplied with two velvetine carry bag things. The UK plug uses the (folded up) North American plug legs to attach, so it’s all very neat and tidy. Smaller and faster than the factory Lenovo 45 watt brick too. So far very happy with them.

Is it a cloverleaf to 13A cable you want, or a 13A/cloverleaf integrated plug?
The cloverleaf connector is called C5 (the appliance inlet is C6):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_60320
so a search for "C5 cable" will turn it up for you.
But a combined 13A (Type G) plug with fixed C5 connector is going to be harder to find. In any case, the exact position of the C5 connector may affect whether your PSU will fit on it or not. I suspect it would have been custom-made for the PSU.

Do you have a Dell product number, or have you tried Dell direct?

Not available without the PSUs - and at £40 each a little on the expensive side!

Ouch!

Exactly ... I won't risk a third party PSU on a £2k PC with 4-year warranty so don't mind it for that and have a couple left where I usually work.

Totally agree 
One other suggestion would be to save a search on ebay, and then ebay will email you every time new items are listed with your seach criteria. I've used it before and it's not perfect but it's certainly helped me in the past, and you never know someone may list a genuine Dell item.
