MILAPEAK (Real 18AWG 43x2pcs Strands) 10 Pairs DC Power Pigtail Cable 12V 5A Male & Female + 10 Pairs DC Power Jack Plug Adapter Barrel Connector for CCTV Home Security Surveillance (2.1mm x 5.5mm)

Looks just like what I wanted. No issues so far. Intending to use for running power to LED Strips. Due to longer runs of the strips, intend to bus the signal but make separate runs for the power.

I stripped some of the wire and measured the strands with a micrometer, and counted the strands under a microscope. There are indeed 43 strands as the seller describes, but theyre each only 0.113mm diameter. This equates to about 20 AWG or thinner, with an ampacity of 5 amps, not even close to 18 AWG. Ive gotten similar results on import red-black bulk hookup wire imported from the land whose capital is at geo coordinates 40N 116E. So its the typical result with random electronic parts from Amazon: no brand, no markings, no identifiable source, samples deficient, not to be trusted. For a final test I assembled a loop-back out of one pigtail receptacle and the mating plug screw connector, pushed 5 amps through that, and metered 290 mV at the pigtail. So theres about 58 milliohms in the receptacle/plug combination. The pigtail wire was hardly warm, but the connectors were warm to the touch. So I found theyre OK for 5 amps.

work well good value

I liked that it included a nice variety of parts to extend or make power supply connections. Wires are a bit thick.

Quick and ez way to use this type of connector. Package has many options for connection.

Works as needed

Be sure to test these before using them. I had one of the female pigtails that was internally shorted. Wouldn’t have been a big issue except that I was connecting it to Li-Ion batteries. Not a good plan. Other than the occasional explosion hazard as noted above, these are a great option for connectorizing all kinds of things.

This is a much easier way to put external power to a board or breadboard. Love it

Quality of these cables are on point! What really impressed me was the weight of the package when it arrived. I could tell right away it was quality when I removed the first wirelead from the bag. The wires inside were meaty. I’m not talking about four strands of copper thinner than a human hair. I’m talking about a braid of copper you can actually tin! This is definitely going on my save to buy again list. Thank you!

Excellent
