Product Description: DC Power Jack DC-009T – Snap-In Panel Mount with NC Switch

The DC Power Jack, Part Number DC-009T, is a robust and reliable power input connector designed for panel-mount applications. Engineered for durability and ease of installation, this jack features a snap-in mounting design that allows for secure, tool-free insertion into a panel cutout, ensuring a tight, stable fit without the need for additional nuts or washers. This makes it ideal for chassis-mounted equipment, including audio devices, medical instruments, security cameras, and compact power supplies.

Electrically, the DC-009T is rated at DC12V 1A, making it well-suited for a wide range of low-voltage consumer and industrial electronics. It contains three conductors and integrates a valuable feature: one internal normally closed (NC) switch located on the ground (GND) path. This switching function can be used to detect plug insertion or disconnect an internal battery when an external adapter is plugged in, enhancing circuit intelligence and power management.

For system integration, the jack employs solder terminals designed specifically for wire leads. This through-hole wire termination provides a strong, permanent connection capable of withstanding vibration and mechanical stress, surpassing the reliability of PCB-only jacks in many applications.

The DC-009T offers flexible center pin compatibility. It is available in two common center pin options: 5.5mm outer diameter with 2.0mm inner pin (5.5*2.0mm) and 5.5mm outer diameter with 2.5mm inner pin (5.5*2.5mm). Please specify your required center pin size when ordering. This power jack combines mechanical convenience with electrical switching intelligence, providing a superior solution for demanding panel-mount power entry needs.
