DC Jack Female PR-C09: Power Input Connector
The DC Jack Female PR-C09 is a female DC power socket listed under Tools & Hardware and Connectors & Adaptors. It provides a fixed point on a device or circuit board where a male DC power plug can be inserted, so that direct current can be supplied from an external power source.
DC jacks are widely used wherever equipment needs a removable power connection. They reduce the need for hard-wired leads, allow power supplies to be exchanged easily, and help keep connections consistent during assembly, testing and servicing.
What the Connector Does
The female jack is the receiving half of a DC power connection. The matching male plug, which is attached to the power supply lead, slides into the centre of the jack and makes contact with the internal terminals. When the plug is removed, the jack returns to its open state.
Key Features
- Female DC power socket for receiving a matching male DC plug
- Part of the Connectors & Adaptors range
- Article number PR-C09 for easy ordering and identification
- Suitable for fitting to boards, enclosures and assemblies that require a removable power input
Specifications

Before fitting this jack, check the datasheet or contact the supplier to confirm the voltage and current rating, the centre-pin and barrel dimensions, and the panel or board mounting method. Matching these details to your plug and circuit is essential for safe and reliable operation.
Typical Uses
- Powering electronic projects, prototypes and custom boards
- Replacing a damaged or worn power input on a device
- Adding a removable power connection to equipment or enclosures
- Repair and maintenance work in workshops and service benches
- Educational and hobby electronics builds
Installation Tips
Before soldering or mounting, confirm that the jack fits the available space and that the pin arrangement matches the circuit layout. Use appropriate soldering practice and avoid overheating the terminals. Check the polarity of your power supply plug against the jack and the circuit before applying power, as reversed polarity can damage electronics.
Choosing the Right Part
Compare the jack with the plug you intend to use, and make sure the size and polarity match. If you are replacing an existing jack, take the old part with you or note its markings so that the replacement is compatible. If you are unsure about suitability for your application, ask for technical guidance before ordering.
