DC appliance connector cables power mobile electronic devices in the automotive, marine, leisure and industrial industries.

Quadrant has introduced to the UK a new range of DC appliance connector cables designed to power mobile electronic devices such as LCD-TVs, DVD players, satellite receivers, TFT displays and other equipment in the automotive, marine, leisure and industrial industries.

Manufactured by Pro Car, a German company with a high reputation for top quality DC plugs, socket outlets and connectors for connecting accessories and equipment to onboard electrical systems, this new range comprises 2 and 8A versions both of which connect a Universal plug to either a 2.1 or 2.5mm diameter connector via a 2m-long two-core flat cable.

The 2A version has a cable diameter of 0.4mm2 and connects to a right angle connector, whereas the 8A version has a 0.75mm2 cable with a straight angle connector.

A version with a 12V DC 70W voltage regulator with an input voltage of 10.5 to 13.8V DC and an output voltage of 13 to 14V DC connects to a 2.5mm diameter connector and guarantees 12V even if battery runs low.
