Panasonic Receptacle MC-V96...

Product details
Part AC90EATTZV06 is the socket built into the canister body where the powered floor nozzle plugs in, and it is a busier connection than it looks: every watt that reaches the motorized brush head passes through these contacts first. It is cataloged for the MC-V9640 and listed as fitting the MC-V9626 and MC-V9634 as well.
A worn receptacle rarely announces itself with a clean failure. More often it shows up as a power nozzle that flickers on and off while the wand is in motion, one that only runs when the plug sits at a particular angle in the socket, or one that has gone completely dead even though the outlet and the nozzle both check out fine when tested separately. Thousands of plug-in cycles over the years loosen the contacts or leave them lightly corroded, and either one can produce exactly these symptoms, which makes the fault easy to blame on the nozzle itself when the receptacle is actually the source. Because this connector carries current for the nozzle motor rather than just a signal wire, a marginal connection here can also make the nozzle run noticeably weaker well before it cuts out completely.
Swapping the receptacle fixes that connection at its source rather than working around it with tape, a bent contact, or a plug held at just the right angle, and it's a repair most owners can complete without special tools.

Confirm your canister is an MC-V9626, MC-V9634 or MC-V9640 before ordering, since this receptacle is not a universal fit across the rest of Panasonic's canister range.
