THS7002EVM: Need the power connectors for THS7002EVM

Part Number: THS7002EVM

Hi team,

The customer needs the connectors for the THS7002EVM power supply. 

Do you know which connectors can be uses to connect J1~J4?

  • Hi Mickey,

    these are banana jacks.

  • Hi Kai,

    I believe this request actually originated from my end. I'm posting it below:

    "I've recently purchased a THS7002EVM board. To my understanding a number of 3 power supplies would be ideal - one for 5V and 2 supplying a user-defined voltage. I was thinking of this model www.tme.eu/.../ for buying all 3, since they have variable output voltage. The problem I'm seeing is that the evaluation board requires banana-style connectors as input, while this type of power supply - although offering various output connector types - doesn't have one such banana connector. Can you let me know if any of the output connector for the aforementioned power supply would work with the eval board ? Alternatively, can you let me know of an converter that could be used ? Or even a particular power supply you recommend ?"

    The type of output connectors from the particular power supply mentioned above are:
    3,5/1,35
    5,5/1,5
    5,5/2,1
    5,5/2,5
    Jack 2,5mm
    Jack 3,5mm

    I'm not sure if any of the connectors would directly fit the J1-J4 connectors. A convertor from any of the above to banana-style would solve the issue, however I've been searching for a while but came out empty.

  • Hi Mihai,

    in the user guide of eval board you will find a part number of the banana jacks: (NEWARK) 35F865

    Hope that helps...

  • Hi Kai,

    35F865 is the part number of the jack as it's installed in eval board. What I wanted to avoid was cutting the wires of the power supply and use a regular banana plug on the stripped wire, since that makes impossible using it with the output connectors anymore.

  • Hi Mihai,

    these adapters exist, but are costly. You could make them by yourself. The soldering isn't difficult.

    An additional hint: Many of the todays power supplies contain a switcher. Some of them show unpleasant switcher noise, which could make problems. So, keep an eye on it...
