Guidelines For Power Connector Selection
With more than 40 different designs of coaxial power connectors in existence which are used to power electronic products, the lack of a clear starting point for selecting one has helped lead to the wide inconsistencies among various power plugs and devices. Here are some guidelines that can be drawn from the few power connector designs that have clear voltage specifications associated with them.
- 1.5 V devices
- EIAJ-01
- 3.0 V devices
- EIAJ-01
- 4.5 V devices
- EIAJ-02
- EIAJ RC-5321
- 6.0 V devices
- EIAJ-02
- EIAJ RC-5321
- 7.5 V devices
- EIAJ-03
- 9.0 V devices
- EIAJ-03
- 10.5 V devices
- EIAJ-03
- 12.0 V devices, including automotive electrical systems
- EIAJ-04
- EIAJ RC-5322 for automotive use
- ARINC 628/EmPower for automotive or airplane use
- 13.5 V devices
- EIAJ-04
- EIAJ RC-5322 for automotive use
- ARINC 628/EmPower for automotive or airplane use
- 15.0 V devices
- EIAJ-05
- ARINC 628/EmPower for automotive or airplane use
- 16.5 V devices
- EIAJ-05
- 18.0 V devices
- EIAJ-05
Note that the special ARINC 628/EmPower connector (which strictly speaking is not a coaxial power connector) is used aboard commercial airlines to provide electrical power to passenger's electronic equipment.

Famous quotes containing the words power and/or selection:
“We have imagined ourselves a special creation, set apart from other humans. In the last twentieth century, we see that our poverty is as absolute as that of the poorest nations. We have attempted to deny the human condition in our quest for power after power. It would be well for us to rejoin the human race, to accept our essential poverty as a gift, and to share our material wealth with those in need.”
—Robert Neelly Bellah (20th century)
“It is the highest and most legitimate pride of an Englishman to have the letters M.P. written after his name. No selection from the alphabet, no doctorship, no fellowship, be it of ever so learned or royal a society, no knightship,—not though it be of the Garter,—confers so fair an honour.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
