Various Types of DC Connectors
A DC connector is an electrical connector that supplies direct current power. Compared to domestic sockets and AC power plugs, DC connectors have many more interchangeable standard types. The arrangement and dimensions of DC connectors prevent accidental interconnection of incompatible sources. Its types vary from small coaxial connectors used to power portable electronic devices to AC adapters to connectors used for battery packs in portable equipment, and automotive accessories. DC power connectors will have voltage and current ratings specified by the manufacturer to ensure reliability in power delivery applications. The plug and Jack of a standard DC power connector feature two conductors. One conductor is exposed, whereas the other is recessed to help prevent an accidental shot between the two conductors. Barren conductors are always used to supply power to an end application. There is no risk of damaging other components by plugging the DC...
