Board-Mount DC Power Jack, Right-Angle Entry
Rated 10.7 A at 25 VDC. The contact arrangement lists 3 conductors and 5 contacts — the extra contacts allow for a coaxial barrel tip (center pin), a sleeve, and a sense or switch contact. The jack does not contain an internal switch, so the sense contact is intended for a mating plug that shorts it to the sleeve to signal 'plug present'.
What the Contact Plating and Shielding Mean for Your Build
Gold plating on the mating surfaces (contact material - plating: Gold) handles repeated plug/unplug cycles without the oxidation that tin contacts develop over time. For a power jack that sees daily connection and disconnection — test equipment, field instruments, portable chargers — gold preserves low contact resistance through the service life. This keeps switching noise from the downstream DC-DC converter from radiating out the power port, and prevents external RF from riding the DC line into the device.
Through-hole right-angle mounting (Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle) gives the jack mechanical strength against the insertion force of a barrel plug — a surface-mount jack would tear pads off after a few cycles. Termination is solder (Termination: Solder) — no crimp or press-fit option. The through-hole pins are designed for wave or hand soldering. The housing is black thermoplastic (Housing Material: Thermoplastic), UL-rated but the specific grade is not listed; the insulation color matches the body.
