DC Barrel Plug Adapter, 2.1mm x 5.5mm Female to Right-Angle Male, 18 AWG | RC-SL
DC Barrel Plug Adapter: 2.1mm x 5.5mm Female to Right-Angle Male
Part RC-SL connects a power supply's 2.1mm x 5.5mm male barrel plug to equipment accepting a 2.1mm x 5.5mm male plug. It keeps the same connector dimensions while providing a right-angle device connection for an alternative cable-routing direction. The compact pigtail uses 18 AWG wire and a 3.75-inch cable length, with no soldering required.
Important compatibility check: Matching connector sizes does not establish electrical compatibility. Confirm the equipment's required DC voltage, current, polarity, connector insertion length, and clearance before connecting. Do not assume center-positive or center-negative wiring from connector dimensions alone. Verify the adapter's wiring and resulting device-end polarity before use.

Applications and Replacement Guidance
Use Part RC-SL when a compatible 2.1mm x 5.5mm power connection needs a right-angle plug rather than a straight plug. The right-angle connection may help route a cable in confined installations, but confirm clearance and insertion length for your equipment. This adapter does not change the barrel connector size. No specific router, camera, audio device, or other equipment compatibility is claimed.
Compatibility Checklist
- Your power supply has a compatible 2.1mm x 5.5mm male barrel plug.
- Your equipment accepts a 2.1mm x 5.5mm male plug with suitable insertion length and right-angle clearance.
- The power supply's DC voltage and polarity match the equipment requirements.
- The power supply has sufficient current capacity.
- The adapter's allowable voltage and current are verified for the installation; 18 AWG alone does not establish a complete assembly rating.
- The adapter's wiring is verified, and the resulting device-end polarity is correct.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which connectors does this adapter use?
Part RC-SL accepts a 2.1mm x 5.5mm male power-supply plug in its female socket and provides a 2.1mm x 5.5mm right-angle male plug for the device connection.
Does it change the connector size?
No. Both ends use 2.1mm x 5.5mm barrel dimensions. It provides a right-angle male connection and a short cable between the connectors.
Does it change voltage or convert AC to DC?
This is a connector adapter, not a voltage converter, regulator, or AC-to-DC power supply. Use a DC power source that already meets the equipment's electrical requirements.
Is this adapter center-positive or center-negative?
Do not infer polarity from connector dimensions. Verify the adapter wiring and polarity at the device-end plug before use. A center-positive or center-negative wiring claim has not been verified for this listing.
Will it fit my equipment, and do I need to solder it?
No soldering is required. Before connecting power, verify voltage, current, polarity, connector dimensions, insertion length, assembly ratings, and right-angle clearance against the equipment requirements. Device type alone does not establish compatibility.
