Simplify your power distribution with the 2.1mm DC Socket to Terminal Block Adapter. This professional-grade connector allows you to interface a standard DC power adapter with bare-wire runs, eliminating the need for cutting, splicing, or soldering. Featuring a high-retention 2.1mm x 5.5mm Female Socket and a secure 2-pin screw terminal, it is the perfect solution for powering CCTV cameras, LED strip controllers, and custom electronics from a centralized power brick.
CCTV Power Injections: Connect your main power supply unit (PSU) to individual camera leads using standard 2-core wire or UTP cable.
LED Lighting Systems: Easily link a desktop power adapter to custom-length LED strips or dimmers without modifying the original power cord.
Home Automation & IoT: A must-have for makers providing a clean power interface for Raspberry Pi projects, sensors, and smart controllers.
Prototype Testing: Quickly test DC-powered components using a standard power supply without needing to strip and twist wires permanently.
Solderless Screw Terminal: The green 2-pin (+/-) block features high-quality screws that provide a vibration-resistant, rock-solid connection for bare copper wires.
Standard 2.1mm x 5.5mm Socket: Precision-engineered female port ensures a tight, secure fit for the most common DC male plugs found on power adapters.
Heavy-Duty Molded Body: Encased in a rugged black PVC shell with integrated grip textures to prevent signal dropouts caused by cable pulling.
Clear Polarity Markings: The terminal block is clearly labeled with "+" and "-" symbols to ensure safe and correct wiring for your sensitive electronics.
"Plug-and-Play" Setup: Install or reconfigure power lines in seconds using only a small flathead screwdriver, saving significant labor time on-site.
High Signal Integrity: Designed for low-resistance power transmission, ensuring your devices receive the full voltage they need without overheating the connector.
Industrial Durability: Built to withstand constant use in both residential and commercial environments, from office setups to industrial control panels.
Connector A: 2.1mm x 5.5mm DC Female Socket
Connector B: 2-Pin Screw Terminal Block (Positive/Negative)
Is this the same as the "Male" version?
No. This is the Female (Socket) version, which accepts a power plug from an adapter. The Male version is used to plug into a device (like a camera).
Can I use this for 5V or 24V applications?
Yes. This adapter is a passive connector and is safe for standard low-voltage DC ranges (typically 5V, 12V, 24V, and up to 36V).
What wire gauge should I use?
The terminal block can comfortably accept most standard power wires, including 18AWG to 24AWG, as well as the twisted pairs found in Cat5e/Cat6 cables.
