Xenocam 12 Pack 2.1mm x 5.5mm Male CCTV Camera DC Power Adapter Connector

I do a lot of work with solar panels and 12 volt systems like LEDs and cameras in my work and these are quick and easy to use solderless connectors for most common 12V systems. I will purchase more of these when I run low for sure.

I installed security cameras at a remote building, powering them up with a solar-charged 12 volt battery bank. The inverter I was using was extremely loud and I found it annoying. Using these connectors, I was able to remove the need for the transformer and connected the cameras directly to the 12 volt power source. Easy to install and work just great!!

They were not advertised correctly

Didnt know this product existed but an excellent product to very easily replace connector.

does what it is intended to do. Cheaply made but gets the job done.

work great

add to all my cables

These are perfect for why I wanted them -- ease of connections -- but I didnt think about two other significant aspects: short circuit risk and strain on wires. (1) There is obviously no strain relief in this design so these are not very well suited for a connection that will move around. At least with thin wires, they will tend to bend at a right angle at the terminals. And of course we all know what happens when you bend metal over and over again. (2) It is easy to have some bare wire peeking out when you connect the wire to these but the terminals are so close together that this is a very significant short circuit risk. So make sure you only strip exactly what you need to get into the screw terminals so the wires are still insulated coming out of them.

This product is used to provide terminals for DC power connections. Its usually used in CCTV camera work. Im using them to provide power for active metering.

Quality is good
