a pair of 100mill header pins on the power recipient end and matching header socket on the power supplying end) along with color coded heat shrink and then encapsulate the whole mess in a larger clear heatshrink tube with internal adhesive. I’ve also been known to chop the plug end off my wall-warts and ubiquitous cheap USB power cables put some other connector pair in the middle (e.g. Posted in hardware Tagged barrel connector, cobbled, function over fashion, function over form, functional, protoboard, solder, ugly Post navigation What’s your barrel connector trick and does it work reliably? The inside is contacted by thick copper wire with a kink to again provide spring action. hack is actually quite respectable! It appears to be a roll of copper (perhaps from tubing?) bent for a bit of spring tension on the outside of the barrel. If you can’t take the easy route of cutting off the connectors, what’s your go-to trick? Alligator clips are a horrid approach, and there aren’t really any clear winners that come to mind. Everyone has a box of old wall warts somewhere, exhibiting a wide range of barrel connector sizes. There is no link, aka screen-capped the image exchange and reminded us on the tip line.Ĭhances are you’ve faced this problem yourself. Necessity birthed the most straightforward solution which did not involve shredding a power adapter’s plug. In one of our Hack Chats, shared a couple of images wherein a barrel connector was needed, but there was no time to wait for one in the mail. Then there are the times where you need to throw scraps of copper at a prototyping board and strangle nine-volts out by any means necessary. A simple device, on a custom circuit board with inexpensive parts that will disrupt the status quo and make you a billion dollars in no time. Sometimes you get an epiphany for a project that will change the world.
