Easily extend or repair your power connections with our 2.5mm DC Socket with Joint. This female power jack features a pre-terminated "joint" (wire tail), making it the ideal solution for projects where soldering directly to a chassis-mount socket is difficult or inconvenient. Specifically sized for 2.5mm inner diameter pins, this socket is a heavy-duty alternative to the standard 2.1mm size, commonly found in high-wattage power adapters and industrial electronics.
CCTV & Security Systems: The standard interface for powering security cameras and DVR units.
LED Lighting Projects: Connect 12V or 24V LED strips to a desktop power brick with ease.
DIY Electronics & Robotics: Use as a primary power input for Arduino, Raspberry Pi (via buck converter), or custom PCB projects.
Equipment Repair: Replace broken or loose power ports on networking gear, monitors, and audio equipment.
2.5mm x 5.5mm Universal Fit: Designed for DC plugs with a 5.5mm outer diameter and a 2.5mm inner pin—ideal for high-current applications.
Pre-Attached Wire Joint: Features a flexible wire tail that allows for easy splicing, crimping, or connecting to terminal blocks without soldering inside tight enclosures.
Secure Friction Fit: Engineered with a high-tension internal spring to ensure the power plug stays firmly seated, preventing intermittent power loss.
Heat-Resistant Insulation: The robust PVC outer casing protects against short circuits and withstands standard operating temperatures.
"Plug & Play" Installation: Eliminates the need for delicate soldering onto small pins; simply use the wire leads to connect to your circuit.
Stable Power Delivery: High-conductivity copper leads ensure minimal voltage drop, even under significant current loads.
Industrial Durability: Built to handle frequent plugging and unplugging, making it perfect for portable gear and test benches.
Connector Type: DC Female Power Socket
Size: 2.5mm (Inner Pin) x 5.5mm (Outer Diameter)
Wiring: 2-Wire Joint
Will this work with a standard 2.1mm DC plug?
Maybe, but not recommended. While a 2.1mm plug will fit into the 5.5mm hole, the center pin connection will be loose, causing power interruptions. Ensure your power adapter is specifically a 2.5mm type.
What is the maximum current (Amps) it can handle?
Most 2.5mm DC sockets are rated for up to 5A at 12V/24V, making them suitable for most small-to-medium electronic devices.
Can I use this for outdoor projects?
The socket itself is not waterproof. If using outdoors, we recommend placing the connection inside a weatherproof junction box or using heat-shrink tubing to seal the wire joint.
