Global Connector Technology (GCT) has released a new range of high current DC power jacks with 2.50mm centre pin diameters suitable for 5.5mm OD plugs. The high power parts are thru hole and shielded in horizontal and vertical orientation.

The DCJ250-15 is the only high power format vertical jack on the market. In DC jack products, horizontal mounting is standard, on the edge of a PCB and through a panel cut-out. However, as customers were looking for alternative design configurations, GCT worked with them to develop a vertical type.

High current products are used to allow fast battery charging in handheld or portable equipment. This may be in a standalone application, or distributing power to a docking device where multiple handheld units are plugged in to charge.

The high current jacks are tested and rated at 7A in vertical orientation and 8A in horizontal, within a strict temperature rise of 30°C over ambient.

All of GCT’s DC power jacks are tested to 5,000 mating cycles and offer an operating temperature range of -20 to 70°C.
