The twin modular screw terminals hold the wires in place, so you just strip the cable ends, insert them and tighten the screws. It suits anyone who wants to cut cables to length rather than rely on pre-made connectors, and it saves reaching for a soldering iron on every job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe rate this plug at a maximum current of 5A and a maximum voltage of 24V DC, which covers most low voltage jobs around the home and on site. It is a common fit for LED tape and CCTV installations, where you often need to run power a fair distance and terminate it neatly at the far end. The 2.5mm pin diameter matches the barrel sockets used on a wide range of small power supplies and adaptors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body measures 10 x 12 x 35mm and weighs just 6g, so it stays compact behind a monitor, camera or LED profile. In UK terms this is a DC power plug; in the US the same part is often called a DC power connector or barrel plug, so the fitting is the same whichever name you know it by. Keep in mind the pin size when matching it to your socket, as barrel plugs come in several diameters and a 2.5mm pin will not seat properly in a smaller barrel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePin diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.5mm DC plug\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax. current\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24Vdc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10mm x 12mm x 35mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.01KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need to solder this plug?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It uses twin screw terminals, so you strip the wire ends, insert them and tighten the screws.
