Plug Adapters for External Exhaust Fans and Stock Compressor

Preface: This article covers information about the different plugs, sockets and adapters used for the stock exhaust and air pump power connections.

About the Exhaust Fan and Air Pump Socket

The back of your Thunder Laser machine has C14 socket to plug the Exhaust Fan and Stock Air Pump (If applicable, Bolt series with built in air Pumps do not have the external socket) into. As you go to change some of the components out you can adapt the socket to accept the new devices plug without having to rewire the device. You will notice that it is not the same as a wall outlet which is a NEMA 5-15R or NEMA 5-20R.
