Key Features
- 2 mm pin diameter DC power jack compatible with standard barrel plug adapters
- Dual board-and-panel mounting for flexible installation in PCB and chassis applications
- Compact 0.37 × 0.43 inch footprint saving board space in tight enclosures
- Polyethylene insulator providing robust dielectric strength and environmental resistance
- General-purpose jack design suited for 5 V to 24 V DC power input rails
Applications
The RAPC10S is widely used as the primary DC power input jack on consumer electronics, embedded development boards, and industrial HMI panels where a 2 mm pin barrel connector provides a simple, cost-effective power interface. Its board-and-panel dual mounting makes it equally suitable for front-panel chassis mounting in benchtop instruments and for direct PCB soldering in compact IoT gateways. Audio and test equipment designers also favour it for its rugged polyethylene insulator and Switchcraft's proven mechanical reliability over tens of thousands of mating cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pin diameter does the RAPC10S use, and which barrel plug sizes are compatible?
The RAPC10S features a 2 mm centre-pin diameter, making it compatible with standard 5.5 mm outer diameter / 2 mm inner diameter barrel plugs commonly used on 5 V, 9 V, and 12 V DC power adapters. This is one of the two most prevalent barrel sizes in consumer electronics, ensuring broad adapter availability for prototypes and production products.
What are the body dimensions of the RAPC10S, and how does its compact size benefit dense PCB layouts?
The RAPC10S body measures 0.37 inch long by 0.43 inch wide by 0.95 inch deep. This compact footprint allows placement near PCB edges without consuming excessive board area, which is critical in space-constrained designs such as single-board computers, IoT modules, and handheld test instruments requiring a dedicated DC power port.
Can the RAPC10S be mounted both on a PCB and on a panel, and what does that mean for enclosure integration?
Yes. The RAPC10S supports board-and-panel dual mounting, meaning it can be soldered directly to a PCB or secured through a front-panel cutout with a nut. For enclosure-based products, panel mounting presents the 2 mm barrel receptacle flush on the chassis, while the PCB tails connect internally, accommodating enclosure wall thicknesses up to approximately 3 mm.
When should a designer choose the RAPC10S over a USB-C power input connector for a 12 V DC application?
USB-C is limited to 5 V, 9 V, 15 V, and 20 V at specific currents defined by USB Power Delivery, making it awkward for legacy 12 V adapters delivering more than 3 A. The RAPC10S accepts any 2 mm barrel plug at 12 V without PD negotiation, simplifying firmware and eliminating PD controller cost for applications where 12 V at 2 A to 5 A from a fixed wall adapter is the sole power source.
