Electrical Wiring and Connecting

AC to DC Adapter Cords

Plug these adapter cords into a standard outlet and they change AC voltage to DC voltage.

Detachable-Cord AC to DC Adapters

Couple these adapters with a cord that matches your outlet and length requirements to run DC-powered electronics.

Medical-Grade AC to DC Adapters

To run DC-powered lab and medical equipment from your outlet, add a power cord with the plug style and length you need. These adapters meet strict IEC, UL, or ANSI/AAMI standards for use with medical devices.

International AC to DC Adapter Cords

Swap the plug to match the outlet of the region you’re in instead of using separate cords for each country. These adapter cords convert AC voltage to power DC electronics.

AC to AC Adapter Cords

Power devices that require less than 120 volts AC.

DC to AC Adapter Cords

Plug these cords into a vehicle socket to charge devices that run on AC voltage.

Barrel-Style DC Power Cords

Carry DC power in or out of electronic devices with these cords. All have industry standard barrel-style connections, letting you power electronics from power supplies.

Barrel-Style DC Power Cord Splitters

Send DC power to multiple electronics from one source. With industry standard barrel-style connections, these splitters are compatible with many power supplies and other devices.

Barrel-Style DC Connectors

Made with industry standard barrel-style ends, these connectors carry DC power between electronic devices and power supplies.

Audio Equipment Connectors

These connectors are designed for use in audio equipment.

Panel-Mount Audio Equipment Connectors

Connect audio equipment. These connectors mount to panels of any thickness, as long as you drill a mounting hole first.

Electrical Transforming and Conditioning

Logic Level Converters for Development Boards

Communicate between a development board and other components, such as sensors and actuators, that use digital signals at a different voltage.

DC to DC Converters

When your power supply sends out DC power at a higher voltage than you need, change to the proper voltage with these converters.

DIN-Rail DC to DC Converters

Mount these DC converters to DIN rails on fixtures such as industrial cabinets and electrical panels. By converting voltages, they let you connect power supplies to equipment that requires a different input voltage.

DC to AC Transformers for Motor Loads

Provide AC power to devices that temporarily draw high output, such as motors.

DC to AC Transformers for Sensitive Electronic Loads

These transformers produce AC output that most closely resembles clean, stable AC-generated power.

DC to AC Transformers

Use DC voltage to power devices that run on AC voltage. Also known as inverters and converters.
