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.
