FAQs
What does 2.5mm x 5.5mm refer to?
This refers to the dimensions of the DC barrel plug. The 5.5mm is the outer diameter of the barrel, and the 2.5mm is the inner diameter of the hole in the barrel.
Can I use this with any DC power adapter?
This connector is specifically designed for adapters with a 2.5mm x 5.5mm male output plug. You must ensure your power adapter has this specific plug size and that your device has a corresponding female input jack.
What is the advantage of the 'right-angle' design?
The right-angle (L-shaped) design allows the cable to bend at a 90-degree angle from the device port. This is beneficial for saving space, improving cable management, and reducing strain on the connection, especially in tight spaces.
How durable is this connector?
The connectors are built with durable materials intended for reliable and repeated use in standard electronic applications.
Is this suitable for high-power devices?
These connectors are intended for general-purpose DC power applications. For devices requiring very high current, it's always best to check the specifications and consider connectors rated for higher amperages if available.
What is included in the pack?
The pack contains two DC Power Tip Connectors, each featuring a 2.5mm x 5.5mm male plug and a right-angle L-shaped jack.
Troubleshooting
No power connection established.
Verify that the DC power adapter is functioning correctly and providing the appropriate voltage. Ensure the 2.5mm x 5.5mm plug is fully inserted into the device's power jack and that the jack is clean. Confirm the device's power requirements match the adapter's output.
Loose connection.
Gently check if the connector fits snugly. If it feels loose, the device's port may be worn or slightly larger than standard. Ensure no debris is obstructing a full insertion.
Connector overheats during use.
This could indicate excessive current draw from the connected device or a faulty connection. Disconnect immediately and verify the device's power requirements against the power adapter's rating. Ensure the connector is clean and undamaged.
