5.5 x 2.1mm DC pigtail

Wiring a 12V plug pack to an LED strip
Replacing a damaged plug on a CCTV camera lead
Adding a plug-in power input to a project box
Making a removable joint in a low-voltage DC cable

Wiring & getting started

  1. Check the barrel size

    Look for 5.5 x 2.1mm on your power supply label. A 5.5 x 2.5mm plug looks almost the same but sits loose in a 2.1mm socket.

  2. Match the polarity

    The red wire goes to the centre pin. Most plug packs are centre positive, so red is positive. Check the polarity symbol on your supply’s label; if it shows centre negative, treat red as negative.

  3. Join the leads

    Solder and cover with heatshrink, use a screw terminal, or use a WAGO 221 lever connector for a tool-free joint.

  4. Check before you power up

    Plug in the supply and measure the voltage and polarity at the far end before connecting your device. Keep the load to 2A or less.
