I was using a Raspberry Pi on a system running .

I used a Raspberry Pi in a system I built and placed a cylindrical DC connector on the project case. When using this barrel connector, I noticed that I would get a rainbow that was too weak. I found I was losing about 2/10 volts at the DC jack, which was enough to signal power issues. The simplest solution was to plug this into the project and apply 12 volts to the project so a small loss of current before it doesn't matter.

Pros
  • Robust construction
Cons
  • Negligible maintainability
