DC Jack Connector Female 2.1mm × 5.5mm (Pack of 5)

The DC Jack Connector Female 2.1mm × 5.5mm (Pack of 5) is a set of five female DC barrel connectors designed to provide a secure and reliable connection between DC power adapters and electronic devices. These connectors are compatible with the industry-standard 5.5mm outer diameter and 2.1mm inner diameter DC barrel plug, making them one of the most commonly used power connectors in electronic equipment. They are widely used in Arduino projects, CCTV systems, LED lighting, robotics, embedded systems, IoT devices, communication equipment, laboratory instruments, and DIY electronics.

Each connector is constructed using a durable plastic housing, nickel-plated brass or copper alloy contact terminals, and high-quality insulating materials that ensure excellent electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, and long service life. Depending on the model, the connectors may feature solder terminals, PCB mounting pins, or screw terminals for quick and secure wiring.

The working principle of the Female DC Jack Connector is simple. When a compatible 5.5mm × 2.1mm male DC barrel plug is inserted into the female jack, the internal spring-loaded metal contacts firmly grip the plug, creating a stable electrical connection. The center pin typically carries the positive (+) voltage, while the outer metal sleeve serves as the negative (−) or ground (GND) connection. This center-positive configuration is the standard polarity used by most DC power adapters and electronic devices.

The connector is designed to support a wide range of DC operating voltages, typically from 5V to 24V DC, depending on the connector's current rating. It is suitable for low- and medium-current power applications and ensures efficient power transfer with minimal contact resistance.

The 5.5mm × 2.1mm Female DC Jack Connector is compatible with standard DC power adapters, including:

• 5V DC Power Adapters

• 9V DC Power Adapters

• 12V DC Power Adapters

• 15V DC Power Adapters

• 24V DC Power Adapters

The connector is commonly used with:

• Arduino Uno, Nano, and Mega
