not sure if it's the cable or the jack, but it can be a bit finicky and lose power

I am delighted to have found these breadboard-friendly 2.1mm DC barrel jacks. Soldering these to perfboard is so much neater, and more robust, than glueing the standard barrel jacks to the board and having to solder wires "dead bug" style. I will definitely be placing more on my next order.

The connector is good quality and works well. The only thing which could be improved would be for the legs to be longer, making it more secure on the breadboard when plugging and unplugging.

Just like the usual jack, but fits in a breadboard. Can also solder onto standard PCB footprint — just needs some extra solder to fill the entire hole.

handy and neat alternative I would like for the pins to fit the positive and negative rails on the breadboard

Fantastic for prototyping where you need to disconnect power without having to rewire

The barrel jack came promptly as usual and works just fine. I think that calling it Breadboard and stripboard-friendly is a bit of a stretch as two of the pins are 6mm apart and I had to do some serious bending to get them into my stripboard. This meant that the hold on the board was not as strong as it should be and some flexing occurs when putting in and removing the power lead.
