2.1mm PCB Mount DC Socket R/A

2.1mm PCB Mount DC Socket R/A (Right Angle)

The 2.1mm PCB Mount DC Socket R/A is a compact right-angle DC power socket designed for reliable low-voltage power connections where space is limited. Its 90-degree housing helps reduce cable strain and allows neat cable routing inside enclosures, behind equipment, or against walls. Commonly used with CCTV systems, LED lighting, Arduino projects, battery packs, and general electronics, this connector suits standard 2.1mm x 5.5mm male DC barrel plugs. Durable construction and secure contact make it ideal for repairs, custom leads, prototyping, and classroom electronics projects.
