Connect a battery pack or bare wires to any device with a 2.1 mm DC barrel jack input using this adapter cable. Colour-coded alligator clips (red for centre-positive, black for ring-negative) clip onto battery terminals or exposed wires, while the moulded 2.1 mm barrel plug feeds power straight into your project.
