Size M Coaxial DC Power Plug (2-Pack)

Comments about RadioShack Size M Coaxial DC Power Plug (2-Pack):

It will fit a size m power jack 274-1563 but i found it 1/8 inch to long. But it does fit tight like it should.

It is really annoying that this site does not include datasheet.

This part is not worth wasting your time on. It will give you nothing but grief. Buy the equivalent part from [...]. You'll save money and get a much, much better part.

Comments about RadioShack Size M Coaxial DC Power Plug (2-Pack):

The barrel, solder connections and shell are just fine. What is odd is that the plug is about 1/4 inch longer than any of the jacks (#274-1582 or #274-1577) that are available to pair it with.

While it fits snugly, it's odd to have that much air gap.

Not sure what to make of the negative reviews. I purchased this for use with a Size M Panel Mount Jack (274-1563), and it fits perfectly. Nice and snug, good contact.

I tried to use it with a Size M power Jack and it is too loose to work.

If a zero-star rating was possible, this would qualify.

I purchased this for use in conjunction with a M-size panel-mount jack in a wallplate. I am using it to carry 12v 5 amps Digital Command Control (pulsed, alternating DC for model railroad use) and although it does the job, it was very hard to install.

Pros:
->it conducts the 5 amps better than audio-type Phono connectors

Cons:
->it always feels like it is about to "fall" out of the jack
->I had to drill out the back to make the wire fit through the opening
->There is insufficient space to solder ANY size wire through the "holes" and still screw the cover on
->There is NO STRAIN-RELIEF for the wire
->There is no space to put shrink-sleeving over the connections
->It doesn't state what the maximum current rating is



If you can possably use something that has a righ-angle tip, I would recommend the Adaptaplug end instead, it works much better.
