Product Description
The DC Jack Male Power Connector Pigtail is a reliable, pre-wired power interface designed to stream clean DC power into your LED strip installations, CCTV security systems, and custom microcontroller projects. This connector features a standard, universally adopted 5.5mm outer diameter and 2.1mm inner pin male barrel plug molded securely to a flexible, pre-stripped 10cm pigtail wire.
Pre-fitted with premium 26AWG multi-strand copper conductors, this pigtail eliminates the tedious task of hand-soldering small, fragile barrel terminals directly. The wire ends are pre-cut, stripped, and tinned, making them instantly ready to be soldered onto circuit boards, joined with wire nuts, or inserted straight into screw terminal blocks. It is the perfect choice for powering LED strips, CCTV camera nodes, and custom 12V or 5V power distribution lines.
⚠️ Polarity Safety Reminder: Always double-check your power supply polarity using a digital multimeter before completing your final wire joints. By industry standard for center-positive DC adapters, the Red wire connects to the inner positive pin (+) and the Black wire connects to the outer negative sleeve (-). Reversing these wires can permanently damage sensitive microcontrollers.
Connection Interface & Pinout
This pigtail cable provides a seamless bridge between standard wall adapters and your bare circuits:
Barrel Plug Port: 5.5mm Outer Diameter × 2.1mm Inner Pin Male Socket.
Red Wire (Positive): Connects directly to the center pin of the barrel plug.
Black Wire (Negative/Ground): Connects directly to the outer sleeve of the barrel plug.
Wire Tips: Pre-stripped and tinned multi-strand copper cores for easy, reliable solder wetting.
Applications
CCTV & Security Networks: Extending power connections for security cameras and monitoring sensors running on centralized 12V distribution rails.
LED Strip Lighting: Splicing quick-disconnect power entry lines onto single-color 5V or 12V flexible LED tape light layouts.
Microcontroller Projects: Adding an external, reliable DC power port to custom project boxes housing Arduino, ESP32, or breakout boards.
