Key Features
- 2.0 mm center-pin DC power jack with straight PC-mount termination and 0.37-inch solder lug lead length
- Silver-plated copper alloy contacts on both mating and termination surfaces for low contact resistance and corrosion resistance
- Compact straight through-hole jack body enabling direct PCB mounting without panel cutouts in space-efficient designs
Applications
The PCL722AS is used as the DC power input jack on consumer electronics, small appliances, and portable instrumentation requiring a 2.0 mm center-pin barrel connector soldered directly to the PCB. Its silver-plated copper alloy contacts maintain reliable electrical connection across thousands of plug insertions in test benches and bench-top power supply equipment. It is also specified in industrial IoT gateways and embedded single-board computers where a compact straight through-hole DC jack provides a stable power interface at currents up to several amperes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What center-pin size does the Switchcraft PCL722AS DC power jack accept?
The PCL722AS accepts a 2.0 mm center pin, which is a common barrel connector standard for low-voltage DC power adapters. The silver-plated copper alloy contacts ensure low resistance mating across hundreds of insertion cycles typical of bench-top and consumer device use.
How is the PCL722AS mounted to a PCB and what is its lead length?
The PCL722AS uses a straight through-hole PC-mount configuration with a 0.37 inch (approximately 9.4 mm) lead length. This allows the connector body to sit flush or near-flush on the PCB surface while the solder lugs extend through standard 0.1-inch or custom hole patterns for wave or hand soldering.
What contact finish does the PCL722AS use and how does it compare to gold-plated alternatives for DC power applications?
The PCL722AS uses silver plating on both mating and termination contacts. Silver offers very low contact resistance (typically under 10 mΩ) and excellent conductivity for DC power applications, and is a cost-effective alternative to gold in environments where sulfur exposure is minimal and frequent mating cycles are not the primary concern.
