The seller made right on the deal stating he will ship one out for me since it was not in the package.

Thanks again for all that responded this really is a great community!

They're called "Phoenix connectors".  There's several different sizes.  I use the smaller ones in the AV industry for audio connections.

Anyone have a link to a store in US that sells it?   Or even what the plastic piece is called?

Thank you for the info. I checked the back of the blade and the piece was not present. I believe I may have to order the part... it's a shame for 4 BTC it doesn't come with the cheap plastic part needed.

Anyone in the US have extra they want to sell that can get out to me fast?

The new blades arrive from China without this plug.

I resell for Australia/NZ currently in this thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/asicminer-block-erupter-usb-price-update-australia-242154
..and for orders of less than 10 blades I include a plug with each.

You can pick them up at Jaycar in Australia for about $4 each (which is probably absurdly expensive for what they are)

Orders of 10 Blades come with a power backplane - so I don't ship a plug for those.

Did you check the reverse side of the blade's PCB?

I am having problems getting my new blade erupter to mine and believe I am missing this piece:

http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y530/dogiee/2013-05-13165023_zpse4398984.jpg

I know this was a requirement for the old blades but not sure if this is needed for the new blades.

I planned on connecting a molex off of a power supply, plugging in a network cable and using a fan to keep it cool.

I couldn't find any guides for the new ones and was wondering if someone could lead me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance!!
