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:
“Until a friend or relative has applied a particular proverb to your own life, or until you’ve watched him apply the proverb to his own life, it has no power to sway you.”
—Nicholson Baker (b. 1957)
“Every writer is necessarily a critic—that is, each sentence is a skeleton accompanied by enormous activity of rejection; and each selection is governed by general principles concerning truth, force, beauty, and so on.... The critic that is in every fabulist is like the iceberg—nine-tenths of him is under water.”
—Thornton Wilder (1897–1975)
