Quick Overview
The DIYables 5.5 x 2.1mm Male DC Plug to 2-Pin Spring Terminal Block Adapter provides a convenient solution for distributing power from a single source to multiple devices without soldering or screw terminals. This quick-connect adapter converts a standard 5.5 x 2.1mm male DC barrel plug into a press-type 2-pin spring terminal block, allowing you to easily connect bare wires with a simple press-and-insert action. Rated for 3–24V DC operation with up to 8A current capacity (8A at 12V or 4A at 24V), it supports up to 100W of power transfer and is ideal for Arduino, ESP32, ESP8266, and Raspberry Pi project power distribution.
This adapter features durable flame-retardant construction with PVC insulation and a red-gray PC terminal housing for safety and heat resistance. The press-type spring design ensures a secure, reliable connection without any tools, and the adapter is rated for 6,000 plug and unplug cycles for long-term durability. Each pack includes 5 adapters, providing excellent value for multiple installations or projects. The compact design maintains a professional appearance while simplifying power distribution from a single power supply to multiple devices.
Ideal for LED lighting installations, CCTV monitoring equipment power distribution, cooling fan wiring, and general DC power splitting in Arduino, ESP32, ESP8266, and Raspberry Pi projects. Perfect for makers who need to power multiple devices from one DC power supply, create custom power distribution setups, or convert barrel plug connections to screw-free terminal blocks. Great for prototyping, permanent installations, and any application requiring tool-free, reversible power distribution connections.
