The Switch Electronics DC Power Tip Connectors are an essential solution for electronics technicians, hobbyists, and DIY enthusiasts looking to repair or customize power cables for small electronic devices. Featuring a compact 1.7mm x 4.0mm male plug, these connectors offer a reliable power connection for 12VDC systems while the right-angle design helps reduce cable strain in confined spaces; however, users should note that these connectors require manual solder termination and are not pre-wired.

No, these are raw plug connectors that require you to solder your own wires to them.
These connectors are designed specifically for 12VDC systems. Using them for 24V is not recommended.
No, the pack only includes the five plastic-housed male connector tips.
The connectors are rated for up to 2A of current.
While they handle a wide temperature range, they are not weather-sealed, so they should be kept in dry, indoor-protected environments.
Inspect the solder joints for cold solder or loose strands and verify the inner pin contact is not obstructed.
Verify the device uses a 1.7mm x 4.0mm standard; some similar-looking barrel jacks use 2.1mm or 2.5mm inner diameters.
Reduce the heat on your soldering iron and apply the tip to the terminal for the shortest time possible to avoid heat soak.
To install these connectors, identify the positive and negative leads of your power cable. Strip the insulation back carefully and tin the wires with solder. Slide the strain relief housing onto the cable before soldering the wires to the terminal pins. Once the solder has cooled and the joint is verified to be secure, slide the housing forward and secure the barrel. To ensure long life, avoid pulling on the cable cord directly; always grip the plastic housing when removing the plug from a device. Keep the contact points clean of oxidation to ensure optimal power flow.
