Cliff patented dual DC socket

 

The dual DC socket from CLIFF Electronics, leaders in the design, development and manufacture of connectors, offers designers a single power socket which is suitable for use in both the USA and the rest of the world. The Cliff dual DC socket will accept 2.5 mm power plugs, which are standard in the USA, as well as 2.1 mm plugs used in all other markets.

 

This single socket solution simplifies design, purchasing and logistics as OEMs need only manufacture one standard product to meet their global markets and can purchase one standard power socket for all their needs.

 

By accommodating all industry standard 2.1 mm and 2.5 mm plugs, Cliff’s unique dual DC socket offers a greater choice of power supplies for OEM and after-market supply. Cliff’s dual DC sockets are already being designed into equipment where flexibility of available power supplies is advantageous. Markets where this flexibility has been welcomed include educational, medical, instrumentation, communications, audio-broadcast, audio-visual (AV) and industrial applications. Cliff dual DC sockets are widely designed-in, to reduce the need to supply different power supplies depending on geographical preferences; for example delivery to the USA or Europe.

 

The dual DC socket is rated for 12V DC at 5A, fitted with switched contacts and available in two versions. The DC10L with solder tag connection and the DC10LP PCB mount option. The unique centre center pin also ensures a superior mechanical and electrical contact compared to conventional solid pins.

 

Other standard features include a body material made from PBT for superior temperature characteristics, tin-plated, copper-alloy contacts and RoHS compliance.

 

Cliff’s continuously expanding range of DC sockets includes many industry standard designs with PCB and solder-tag versions. Recent product innovations include:
