A "lock-tab DC coaxial connector" (also called "bayonet lock") offers a compromise that resists unplugging, but which will disengage when pulled hard enough. This connector uses small metal tab protrusions on the connector barrel to lock the plug in place, requiring a special push-and-rotate motion to engage the locks.
Small cylindrical connectors come in various sizes. They may be known as "coaxial power connectors," "barrel connectors," "concentric barrel connectors," or "tip connectors." These plugs are intended for use on the cable connected to an external AC adapter (power supply). The matching jack or socket is permanently fitted to power the equipment.
This is a unique-looking barrel connector, apparently intended for providing a DC output jack (most DC jacks are used for power input). Possibly available in multiple voltage ranges, the one for voltage classification 2 (3.15 to 6.3 V) has an outside diameter of 4.75 mm and a protruding pin of 2.5 mm diameter. Previously known as EIAJ RCX-5321.
The connector typically has 2 to 24 contacts and is polarized or keyed to ensure correct orientation. Pins and sockets can be arranged in any combination in a single housing, and each housing can be either male or female. There are three typical pin sizes: 1.57 mm (0.062 in), 2.13 mm (0.084 in), and 2.36 mm (0.093 in).
The interface dimensions for SMA connectors are listed in MIL-STD-348. [5] The SMA connector employs a 1 ⁄ 4 inch diameter, 36-thread-per-inch threaded barrel. The male is equipped with a hex nut measuring 5 ⁄ 16 inch (0.3125 inch / 7.9 mm) across opposite flats, thus taking the same wrench as a #6 SAE hex nut.
A six-way connector on a "universal" DC power supply, consisting of a four-way X connector and two separate individual connectors (one is the nine-volt battery connector). The X-connector here provides 3.5 and 2.5 mm phone plugs and two sizes of coaxial power connector Universal laptop power supply with adjustable voltage between 12 and 24 volts
The connectors are designed for 12V systems. Exceptions for the 7-pin connector may exist where they may be used for 6V and 24V. Vehicles and trailers with 6V systems can use the 7-pin or a 5-pin connector, but these are rare today. Heavy trucks that may have 12V systems are usually older (vintage vehicles) or on non-European markets. [1]
IEC metric screw sized connectors is a family of electrical connectors defined by IEC that are named according to their ISO metric screw thread, namely M5, M8 and M12. [1] The number gives their outer screw thread diameter in millimeters as with the identically named screws.
