That's not really a "connector", it's intended to have a cable soldered 
onto it. Either buy a cable with a female IEC on one end, cut off the 
other end and solder the wires to this "connector", or find a 
case-mountable IEC male to female cable, which your local electronics shop 
should be able to help you with.

Cheers, Chris.
