DC Socket information

A DC connector (or DC plug, for one common type of connector) is an electrical connector for supplying direct current (DC) power.Compared to domestic AC power plugs and sockets, DC connectors have many more standard types that are not interchangeable. The dimensions and arrangement of DC connectors can be chosen to prevent accidental interconnection of incompatible sources and loads. Types vary from small coaxial connectors used to power portable electronic devices from AC adapters, to connectors used for automotive accessories and for battery packs in portable equipment.

In the electronics industry, there are three commonly accepted configurations for DC power connectors: jack, plug, and receptacle. A DC power jack is responsible for receiving power and is usually mounted on the PCB or chassis of an electronic device. DC power receptacles are also intended to receive power but are instead found on the end of a power cord. Lastly, DC power plugs supply power from a power supply by connecting to a suitable DC power jack or receptacle.

Panel mount DC power jacks offer the convenience of mounting anywhere on the product chassis with the trade-off of needing wires to connect to the electronic circuitry. When it comes to PCB mounted DC power jacks, surface mount (SMT) and through-hole in either horizontal or vertical orientations are most common.

How to choose DC socket?

What are DC sockets?

The DC socket is a socket that matches the special power supply for computer monitors. It is composed of a horizontal socket, a vertical socket, an insulating base, a fork-shaped contact spring, and a directional keyway. Two fork-shaped contact springs are positioned at the center of the base. Arranged vertically and horizontally are not connected to each other.

One end of the fork-shaped contact spring is a wiring port, which is exposed on the top surface of the base cylinder for connecting the input power cord or flexible cable. The other end of the fork-shaped contact spring is composed of two elastic arms interconnected by the base body, which is set in DC The plug is inserted into the socket of the insulated base in the direction to supply the computer monitor to make it work normally.
