Have you ever had trouble using a USB battery pack to power your Arduino board? Don't worry; this cable can handle that. It is a portable method for easily creating robotics projects or anything that requires a wall outlet to be cordless.
It has a standard 2.1mm inner diameter and a 5.5mm outer diameter. The connector has a sturdy appearance thanks to its molded plastic shell. In a variety of applications where a female 2.1mm DC barrel jack is present to receive DC power, this all-purpose connector can be utilized. Typically, a wall-mounted DC adapter has this type of connector.
Just connect the USB A side to a USB battery pack, PowerBoost, USB wall adapter, or any computer. You can use these for heavy current draw because we constructed them with good, sturdy 22AWG wires. Excellent for single-board computers and anything else that needs 5VDC.
