1. What is a DC-005 Female DC Power Jack?
It is a PCB-mounted DC socket designed to accept a 5.5mm outer and 2.1mm inner DC plug, commonly used for powering electronic circuits. It is widely used in Arduino boards, DIY electronics, and robotics projects.
2. How many pins does the DC-005 jack have and what are their functions?
The DC-005 jack has three pins:
Positive (center pin)
Negative (outer sleeve)
Switch pin (optional) – used to disconnect internal power when a plug is inserted
3. What are the typical voltage and current ratings of the DC-005 jack?
This connector generally supports up to 30V DC with a current rating around 1A (may vary by model and quality).
4. Where is the DC-005 PCB mount jack commonly used?
It is widely used in:
Arduino and microcontroller boards
Robotics and DIY electronics
Power supply circuits
CCTV and LED systems
Consumer electronic devices
5. What are the advantages of using a PCB mount DC-005 jack?
