Cable that fits Barrel Jacket plug?

(1/3) > >>

ElectricPower:
My question is possibly simple, but i just wonder how big cable that fits in an standard 5.5x2.1/5.5x2.5 barrel jacket plug or "DC connector". I want to invest in ome silicone wires, but i want to know the total size of input hole back on the barrel jacket before i buy cables.

I'm going to order som barrel jacket plugs from Aliexpress and some slicone wires, but need to know how big cable that fits without destroying the plug.

Thanks :)

I know this isn't going to be an answer you would have hoped for - but it depends on the plug.

There are "plugs" and there are plugs and there are PLUGS.

Oh, mate, those are pLuGs, no data available. ;D
I just stuck some calipers in the strain relief end of some 5.5mm PlugS I happened to have in stock and the diameter appears to be 4.9mm. They're stretchy so you may be able to work some thicker leads in. If you like, you could just cut the strain relief off and fashion your own out of Sugru, among many other options.

Brumby:
My answer remains unchanged.  There is still a lot that can vary within connectors that would appear the same in a photo - and that is assuming the photo provided is of the exact same item that you will receive.

You need to have them in front of you to make definitive statements.  Either that or full specifications - that you can trust.
