Hello,

I have a device that has two DC power inputs. The connectors were broken by my 2 year old, and I need to replace them.

They are a PBC DC connector. They look like this here.
»www.rapidconn.com/dcpower.html

They each have different sized pins.
outside they are both about 5.4-5.5mm
inside pin is 2mm on one, and 2.46mm-2.5mm on the other.

The entire house is 11.5mm deep, and 7mm wide.

The thing has four pins out the bottom, but only three are being used. The rear pin connects to the inside pin, and the other three connect to the tab the touches the outside part of the power source.

Anyone know who sells these things? Already tried my usual radio shack.
Call the company that made the item that the connectors came from and ask if they have replacement connectors for them, or at least get a source on where to get them.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Need-to-replace-DC-connector-23321378 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 16:07:51 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Need-to-replace-DC-connector-23321344 said by John Galt:

Call Customer Service at Rapid Conn. Ask for a distributor for single piece orders.

Wouldn't hurt to ask! Conduct yourself in a "professional manner". Ask if it is possible to get an "engineering sample" or two for "evaluation" prior to a initial bulk purchase of 10,000 parts.

That's social engineering. If you say, "engineering sample," that would be a dead tip-off.

I wouldn't do it.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Need-to-replace-DC-connector-23321344 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 16:00:58 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Need-to-replace-DC-connector-23318624 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Need-to-replace-DC-connector-23318624 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 07:03:31 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Need-to-replace-DC-connector-23313132 --

Best to practice on some scrap (such as the bodies of the broken jacks) before trimming the new jacks. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Need-to-replace-DC-connector-23313070 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 04:51:01 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Need-to-replace-DC-connector-23310954

Or, if you feel adventurous, they may just send you one gratis for the asking if you are not too much of an annoyance LOL. :p

Good luck!

Should try to check off the [x] instock box. ;)
You should look for Through Hole, right angle, Jack with the dimensions you need.

Wiki page has a list of standard sizes:
