Art Supplies
The Battery Snap with DC Jack 5.5×2.1mm is a compact, ready-to-use adapter cable that connects a standard 9V PP3 battery (or any battery holder with a snap terminal) directly to a device equipped with a 5.5×2.1 mm barrel-jack power input. With its 15 cm colour-coded wire and tool-free snap-on connection, it eliminates the need for soldering or breadboard wiring when you need a quick 9V supply for your project.
Key Features
- Universal DC Jack 5.5×2.1mm: Fits the most common barrel-jack standard found on Arduino boards, shields, and countless DIY electronics → no adapter required
- Standard 9V PP3 snap connector: Clips onto any 9V block battery or battery holder with a snap terminal → instant, secure connection
- 15 cm red/black wire: Colour-coded for correct polarity (red = positive, black = negative) → reduces wiring errors
- Tool-free, solderless installation: Simply snap onto the battery and plug into the jack → ideal for prototyping and field use
- Durable construction: Robust snap clips and strain-relieved cable → withstands repeated connect/disconnect cycles
Compatibility
- Arduino UNO / Mega / Nano (with DC jack): The 5.5×2.1 mm plug mates directly with the onboard barrel jack; 9V from a PP3 battery is within the recommended VIN range.
- Generic DC-powered boards & modules: Any device that accepts a 5.5×2.1 mm centre-positive barrel jack and operates at 9V.
- Battery holders with snap connector: Works as a pigtail between a multi-cell AA/AAA holder (with snap output) and a DC-jack device.
Typical Applications
- Arduino prototyping: Power your UNO or Mega from a 9V battery during field tests or classroom demos without a USB cable or bench supply.
- Robotics & mobile projects: Lightweight battery connection for small robots, RC vehicles, and wearable electronics.
- Toys & consumer electronics repair: Replace a damaged power lead or add a removable battery option to an existing device.
- Educational kits: Safe, low-voltage power supply for school and maker-space electronics lessons.
- Rapid prototyping: Keep several on the bench — swap batteries in seconds without rewiring your circuit.

FAQ
Q: Is the DC jack centre-positive or centre-negative?
A: The standard wiring convention for this type of snap cable is centre-positive (red wire to centre pin), which matches the Arduino barrel-jack pinout. Always verify your device's polarity requirement before connecting.
Q: Can I use this with a 9V battery holder instead of a single PP3 cell?
A: Yes — any battery holder that terminates in a standard 9V snap connector (the same press-fit clips used on a PP3 cell) will connect directly to this cable.
⚠ Note: Battery not included. Ensure your device accepts a 5.5×2.1 mm centre-positive supply at 9V before use. Do not exceed the current rating of the battery or the device being powered.
