The 5.5mm×2.1mm DC Power Connector Male and Female Pair is an essential solderless wiring adapter designed to make DC low-voltage power connections fast, reliable, and reusable. Each connector consists of a standard 5.5mm×2.1mm barrel interface on one end (male plug or female socket) connected internally to a 2-pin screw terminal block on the rear.
Constructed with high-quality nickel-plated brass contacts housed in heavy-duty molded PVC plastic, these adapters ensure low electrical resistance and maximum corrosion protection. The terminal block features clearly molded positive (+) and negative (−) polarity markers directly on the housing, eliminating wiring mistakes and accidental reverse-polarity damage to your sensitive electronics. Whether you are extending CCTV cables, wiring RGB/Single-color LED strip lighting, or creating custom 12V battery output leads, these adapters provide a professional, tool-free connection in seconds using only a small flathead or Phillips screwdriver.

How to Use
1. Step-by-Step Wiring Assembly:
-
Prepare Wires: Strip approximately 5mm of insulation from your positive (red) and negative (black) power wires.
-
Loosen Screws: Use a small screwdriver to turn the terminal screws counter-clockwise to open the wire clamping pads.
-
Insert Wires with Correct Polarity:
-
Insert the Positive (+) wire into the terminal marked +.
-
Insert the Negative (−) wire into the terminal marked −.
-
-
Tighten Screws: Turn the terminal screws clockwise until the internal clamp securely grips the stripped wire ends.
-
Connect Barrel Plug: Plug the male connector directly into your device's female DC jack, or pair the male and female adapters together to extend a cable.
