6.5-ft Power Cable - OUTDOOR RATED (IP66) - REGULAR-DUTY - 22AWG - 2A - 5.5mm x 2.1mm Male Barrel Plug with M12-1.75 Screw Threads - Pair of Tinned Bare Conductors - Works with Outdoor Battery Eliminator Kits

Description

This OUTDOOR RATED (IP66), REGULAR-DUTY, 22AWG, 6.5-ft (2m) long DC power cable can handle up to 2A of current. This outdoor cable has an M12-1.75, 5.5mm x 2.1mm male barrel plug at one end of the cable, and the other end of the cable has a pair of 2mm bare conductors (see illustrations) that are tinned and ready to be soldered to the appropriate points in an electronic circuit. This outdoor power cable is intended for the do-it-yourselfer with the equipment and skills necessary to solder the stripped and tinned bare ends of the cable to the appropriate points in an electronic circuit. The most common application of this outdoor cable is to replace an existing power cable on a solar panel since most solar panels on the market do not have outdoor rated (IP66) power cables. Most solar panels on the market have simple “push-to-connect” type 5.5mm x 2.1mm male barrel plugs which allow water and dirt to penetrate which eventually leads to an unreliable connection due to corrosion and degradation of the electrical connection between barrel connectors. The M12-1.75, 5.5mm x 2.1mm male barrel plug at one end of this outdoor rated cable creates a weatherproof seal when the M12-1.75 screw connector is mated with an appropriate M12-1.75, 5.5mm x 2.1mm female barrel socket. A weatherproof seal is created by compression of the rubber O-ring on the M12-1.75, 5.5mm x 2.1mm male barrel plug when mated with the appropriate M12-1.75, 5.5mm x 2.1mm female barrel socket (refer to illustrations) such as those found on our outdoor rated battery eliminator kits and outdoor accessories such as our outdoor power extension cables, outdoor power splitter cables, and outdoor active dummy cell batteries. This outdoor power cable can also serve as a replacement of the power cables found on our outdoor solar panels and modules.

Note(s)

Please make sure the mating connector used with this cable is an M12-1.75, 5.5mm x 2.1mm female barrel socket. M12 specifies the diameter of the threads as 12mm (refer to illustrations), and 1.75 specifies the pitch of the screw threads as 1.75mm and is the distance between threads in mm (refer to illustrations). If the mating connector does not have the same thread diameter and the same thread pitch, then the screw nut will not work, and the rubber O-ring will not be properly compressed which is necessary to create a weatherproof seal. The connector on this cable will mate with a regular (non-weatherproof) 5.5mm x 2.1mm female DC barrel socket, but the connection will not be weatherproof (water and dirt).
