Product Description
This is a DC 2.1mm female power jack with a push-button terminal — it lets you wire a bare power cable straight into a standard 12V DC plug connection without a soldering iron or screwdriver.
What it's for
It sits between a power supply and a CCTV camera (or LED strip, or other low-voltage device), giving you a female socket that accepts standard 5.5mm outer diameter x 2.1mm inner diameter DC male plugs. Bare wire goes in one end via the push terminal; the finished plug end goes into the camera or device.
Why the push terminal matters
Rather than stripping, twisting and soldering wire to a bare connector, you push the conductor into the spring terminal and it locks in place. This gives a consistent, tool-free electrical contact — useful when you're wiring several cameras and want each termination to be identical.
Where it fits
Its compact inline shape means it works well inside junction boxes, camera back-boxes, or equipment enclosures where space is tight. It's suited to CCTV power runs, general power distribution, and 12V LED wiring.
Before buying: check that your camera or device uses the standard 5.5mm x 2.1mm DC plug size, as this connector is matched to that standard rather than to any specific camera brand.

Frequently Asked Questions
What plug size does this female connector accept?
It's built for the standard 5.5mm outer diameter x 2.1mm inner diameter DC male power plug, the common size used on 12V CCTV camera power leads.
Do I need any tools to wire it up?
No — the push-button terminal lets you insert a bare conductor and secure it without a screwdriver or soldering iron.
Can I use this for LED lighting as well as CCTV?
Yes, it's suitable for general 12V DC power distribution including LED systems, not just CCTV cameras.
Where would I typically fit one of these?
Its compact inline shape suits junction boxes, camera housings, and other enclosures where space for wiring is limited.
