9v dc connector question, for builders/DIY'ers

Hey all, I've got a 9V pedal that doesn't have a connector to plug in an outboard power supply. So I was going to modify it so I could put it on my pedal board, leave it plugged up, and not worry about battery drainage.

I can't think of what the name of the connector I need to do this is. Anyone have any ideas for what I should look for at Digikey or Mouser? All the boutique type pedals I have seem to use the same part so I'm sure someone here knows what I should get.

I don't recall the Mouser/etc. parts numbers off the top of my head but I can tell you for sure you'll find the part much more quickly on www.smallbearelec.com as he specializes in pedal parts. It's a "power connector barrel jack"- what I always forget is the inner and outer plug dimensions.

As mentioned above, Small Bear should have them as well.
