DC tip adapters

A comprehensive range of DC plugs comprising 16 assorted plugs and sizes that cover the vast majority of requirements.

The plugs have the standard 2-pin type connection and are supplied in a handy lidded storage box with clear identification.

The standard hollow DC tips are described below as; 1st dimension diameter of hole, followed by outside dimension of plug sleeve contact

TS = "Telephone-Socket" or "Tip & Sleeve" male jacks
CP = Centre Pin type, with the smaller dimension being the diameter of the pin
16x standard connectors (sizes in mm):
2.5TS3.5TS1.0/3.02.1/5.02.1/5.52.5/5.02.5/5.51.35/3.5
1.7/4.01.75/4.751.5/5.01.5/5.52.8/5.50.75/2.353.0/6.31.0/7.0CP

for DC or AC voltages typically 3-30v—depending on size used

use as replacement for lost tips,
—or to obtain extra tips for others' adaptors

DC Multi-Tip Adapters - POLARITY INFO
  • Each tip has two sides, one marked +ve centre and the other -ve centre; both have arrows.
    Choose which polarity 'side' you want and line that side up with the only arrow on the lead socket,
    and push the pins home.
  • The + & - signs on the lead socket (on the opposite side to the arrow),
    indicate which pins in the socket are which, and are for reference only.

WARNING NOTE:  other non-Minwa universal mains-adaptors, may label this polarity info differently;
in fact, the opposite may be true, please ensure you test for correct polarity with a multi-tester,
or our excellent DC Mini-Tester
