There’s two standard ways to power electronics – USB or 5.5mm/2.1mm DC barrel jack. This or that! With this USB to 2.1mm Male Barrel Jack Cable, you can now power 5V DC powered electronics that have a DC jack from a USB jack with a handy 1 meter long cable.
Simply plug the USB A side to any computer, USB wall adapter, or even a USB battery pack. Other side is center positive, 5.5mm outer/2.1mm inner diameter jack. We got these made with nice beefy 22AWG wires so you can use it for high current draw. Great for single-board computers or really anything that requires 5VDC.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
