Component Details

The power jack is from CUI Inc., Part Number PJ1-022-SMT and can be purchased at Digikey, Part Number CP-022PJTR-ND (tape reel - min qty 1000) or CP1-022PJCT-ND (cut tape - min qty 1). There is also a through-hole version CUI part: PJ1-022, Digikey part number CP1-022-ND.

The mating plug (which would be at the end of the power adapter cord) is available as CUI Part number PP-012, Digikey part number CP-012-ND.

Beginners Note: Inside the jack (pin on the gumstix, or inside on the power adapter) is +5V. Higher voltages run greater risks of destroying your gumstix. Outside, or on the edge, is ground.

Robostix/Roboaudiostix Note: Normally power can be applied to any daughtercard, but when using a robostix that board must be powered. See Robostix Voltages.

The power jack is part of the connection between the batteries and the voltage regulators. See power spec and robostix power for more details.
