Power Connector Jack

The 5A DC Power Jack Vert PCB Mount is designed to be vertically mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB). This vertical orientation offers several advantages in terms of space utilization and cable management. Its construction typically consists of a robust housing made from durable materials such as high - grade plastics that can withstand mechanical stress and environmental factors. The internal contacts are crafted from highly conductive metals, often copper - based alloys, and may be plated with materials like gold or silver. This plating not only enhances electrical conductivity but also provides protection against oxidation, ensuring a long - lasting and reliable connection.

What truly sets this power jack apart is its ability to handle a continuous current of 5 amperes. This high - current capacity makes it suitable for power - hungry devices that require a substantial amount of electrical energy to operate. Alongside the current rating, it can support a wide range of DC voltages, usually from a few volts up to 36 volts or more, depending on the specific model. The power jack is engineered with low contact resistance, minimizing power losses during transmission and reducing heat generation. This is crucial for maintaining the efficiency and stability of the connected electronic systems, as excessive heat can lead to component failures and decreased performance.

Mounting and Installation

The through - hole mounting technique used for the 5A DC Power Jack Vert PCB Mount ensures a secure and reliable attachment to the PCB. The pins of the jack are inserted through pre - drilled holes on the board, and then soldered on the other side. This soldering process creates a strong mechanical and electrical bond, allowing the power jack to withstand vibrations, shocks, and other mechanical stresses that may occur during the operation of the device. The vertical positioning also makes it easier to route cables and manage the overall layout of the PCB, contributing to a more organized and efficient design.
