A 5V DC Power Cord USB to DC 3.5mm x 1.35mm Barrel Jack Cable Plug is a commonly used cable that allows you to supply 5V DC power from a USB source (like a computer, USB wall adapter, or power bank) to devices that require a 3.5mm x 1.35mm barrel jack for power input.
Key Features and Specifications:
-
USB to DC Cable:
-
One end of the cable has a USB-A or USB-C connector (depending on the design) that plugs into a USB power source (e.g., a USB port on a computer, wall adapter, or power bank).
-
The other end features a DC 3.5mm x 1.35mm barrel jack which fits into the power input port of devices that use this standard barrel plug size for power.
-
5V DC Power:
-
This cable delivers 5V DC power (direct current), which is a common voltage required by many small electronic devices such as Arduino boards, Raspberry Pi projects, small sensors, and other low-power electronics.
-
Barrel Jack Connector:
-
The 3.5mm x 1.35mm barrel jack is a specific size for the plug, often used for low-voltage electronics. This dimension refers to the outer diameter (3.5mm) and the inner diameter (1.35mm) of the jack.
-
The positive (+) voltage typically connects to the center pin of the barrel jack, and the negative (-) or ground is connected to the outer sleeve of the barrel.
