DC to USB Power Cords

DC to USB Power Cords enables stable 5V USB output from a wide input DC range, typically 5V to 24V. It integrates onboard voltage regulation using buck or buck-boost conversion circuits with tight output tolerances of ±2%, minimizing ripple and maintaining USB specification compliance. This ensures downstream USB devices receive consistent power in unstable or variable voltage environments. 

Input Voltage Range

5V DC to 24V DC (wide-input buck/boost support)

Output Voltage

5.0V ± 2% (regulated USB standard)

Maximum Output Current

Up to 3A continuous (dependent on cable gauge)

Cable Conductor Material

Stranded tinned copper (OFC, 20AWG or 22AWG)

Contact Resistance

<30 milliohms at rated current

Product Description

DC to USB Power Cord is engineered with low-resistance copper conductors, typically 20AWG or 22AWG, capable of continuous 3A current flow without exceeding a 30°C temperature rise. Heat dissipation is managed through flame-retardant insulation and thermally stable connectors, allowing safe operation in enclosed systems or near heat-sensitive components. 

Insulation Resistance

>100 MΩ at 500VDC

Dielectric Withstand Voltage

500VDC for 1 minute (no breakdown)

USB Connector Type

USB-A, Micro USB, or USB-C (per application)

DC Plug Size Range

2.1mm, 2.5mm, or custom barrel diameter

Shielding Structure

100% aluminum foil + 85% braided copper

EMI Suppression Components

Integrated ferrite core, twisted-pair power lines

Operating Temperature Range

-20°C to +80°C

Connector Mating Cycle Rating

≥10,000 cycles (USB and DC side)

Cable Outer Jacket Material

UL94-V0 rated PVC, TPE, or silicone

IP67 (sealed version for harsh environments)

IP67 (sealed version for harsh environments)

Technical Advantages

DC to USB Power Cord employs double shielding—foil plus braided mesh—and internal twisted-pair routing for power lines to reduce EMI propagation. Ferrite bead integration at input/output interfaces attenuates high-frequency noise, supporting applications requiring compliance with FCC Part 15 and CE EMC directives. 

DC to USB Power Cord utilizes high-cycle USB connectors with ≥10,000 mating cycles, paired with DC barrel jacks of precise dimensional tolerance (±0.05mm). Contact resistance remains under 30 mΩ over the product lifecycle, preserving voltage levels and minimizing insertion loss under dynamic loading conditions.

Industry Applications

Embedded Systems Power Integration

Used to deliver stable 5V power from DC sources to microcontrollers, SBCs, and sensor modules in embedded platforms. 

Industrial Panel Interfaces

Provides regulated USB power from control cabinet DC buses for powering HMIs, USB tools, and configuration devices. 

Automotive Diagnostic Modules

Supports USB diagnostic units by converting vehicle 12V/24V DC supply to USB 5V for data acquisition and interfacing. 

Field Instrumentation

Enables portable instruments to receive 5V USB power from industrial battery packs or DC sources in harsh field environments. 

IoT Gateway Power Supply

Converts distributed DC voltages to USB 5V to power edge gateways or communication nodes in industrial IoT setups. 

Test Bench Utilities

Powers USB analyzers, logic probes, and firmware loaders directly from programmable lab DC supplies or power rails. 

 

Custom Output Logic and Negotiation

DC to USB Power Cord can be built with inline ICs for power negotiation protocols such as USB PD trigger (9V/12V/20V fixed output) or Apple/BC1.2 mode detection. This enables device-specific fast charging or non-standard USB loads to be powered directly from regulated DC sources. 

DC to USB Power Cord maintains contact resistance below 30 mΩ across power and ground terminals, verified through accelerated aging tests and micro-contact deformation analysis. Signal trace geometry is maintained with tight impedance control for Power cords carrying USB data alongside power.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Question

Does Frigate offer DC to USB Power Cords with high-current USB Type-C output?

Frigate provides DC to USB Power Cords with USB Type-C outputs rated up to 5V 3A or higher, based on application. These cords use properly rated copper conductors and support E-marker ICs when required. Voltage regulation is achieved through embedded converters that maintain USB PD compliance. Type-C cords are suitable for fast charging or high-power USB-C devices in industrial and embedded systems. 

 

Can Frigate customize DC barrel plug sizes for specific equipment requirements?

Yes, Frigate offers DC to USB Power Cords with customizable barrel connector dimensions such as 2.1mm, 2.5mm, or proprietary sizes. Tolerance control is maintained within ±0.05mm for proper mechanical mating and electrical contact. Custom pin polarity and cable orientation can also be specified. This ensures mechanical compatibility with unique DC ports used in OEM hardware. 

 

What insulation and sheath materials are used by Frigate for extreme environments?

Frigate uses UL-approved PVC, TPE, or silicone-based insulation materials based on thermal and environmental requirements. These materials support operating temperatures between -20°C and +80°C, with flame-retardant and abrasion-resistant properties. For outdoor or sealed units, IP67-rated overmolding is available. This ensures reliable operation in industrial, field, or automotive environments. 

 

How does Frigate ensure EMI compliance in its DC to USB Power Cords?

Frigate integrates ferrite cores, twisted pair layouts, and double shielding (foil + braid) in its DC to USB Power Cord designs. These suppress both conducted and radiated emissions, supporting use in EMI-sensitive environments. Cords can meet CISPR/FCC Class B emissions when properly terminated. This makes them suitable for medical, telecom, and embedded system use. 

Does Frigate offer overvoltage or reverse polarity protection in DC to USB Power Cords?

Frigate designs DC to USB Power Cords with optional protection features like reverse polarity diodes, PTC resettable fuses, and TVS suppression. These components protect downstream USB devices from common power line faults. Voltage regulation remains stable under fault recovery. Protection levels can be tailored for automotive or rugged industrial usage.
