DC jack socket, also known as a DC power jack or DC power connector, is a type of electrical connector used to connect a power source to a device that requires DC power. It is typically used in electronic devices such as laptops, desktop computers, and other portable electronics.

A DC jack socket consists of a cylindrical metal barrel that serves as the positive contact and a central pin or wire that serves as the negative contact. The barrel is typically threaded and has a plastic housing that is used to secure the plug in place by screwing it into the socket.

DC jack sockets come in different sizes and shapes, and the type of socket used depends on the voltage and current requirements of the device. They are designed to provide a secure and reliable connection between the power source and the device, and to prevent accidental disconnection of the plug from the socket.
