The twin modular screw terminals let you fit and secure your cables by hand, so there's no need for a soldering iron or any specialist tools. That makes it a practical choice whether you're wiring a project on the bench or working in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe socket takes a 2.5mm DC pin and handles a maximum current of 5A at up to 24V DC, which covers a wide range of low voltage jobs. It's a common pick for LED tape (LED strip) and CCTV installations, where quick, reliable connections matter and you often need to join or repair cables on site. The screw terminals hold the wires firmly and let you swap or reconfigure a connection later without cutting anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 10 x 12 x 34mm and just 6g, this is a small, light part that fits neatly into enclosures and cable runs. The compact size means it won't add bulk where space is tight, and the low weight keeps things simple when you're mounting or routing cables. If you regularly build or maintain low voltage systems, keeping a few of these to hand saves time and avoids fiddly soldering.\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 socket\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 34mm\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 socket?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The twin modular screw terminals let you connect your cables by hand, so no soldering is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat current and voltage can it handle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's rated for a maximum current of 5A and a maximum voltage of 24V DC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat pin size does it use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt takes a 2.5mm DC pin, so make sure your matching plug uses the same size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is this socket typically used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a common choice for LED tape (LED strip) and CCTV installations, along with other low voltage DC connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big is the socket?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt measures 10 x 12 x 34mm and weighs 6g, so it fits neatly into enclosures and tight cable runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"AVSL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53272091066635,"sku":"777.011UK","price":1.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/777011UK_0.jpg?v=1785045119","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/mercury-2-5mm-dc-socket-with-screw-terminals","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
