Reddit mentions of Uxcell BWDYM DC Power Cable Female Connector Plug (Pack of 10)

Hi.

Essentially I need to connect this to a simple constant current circuit (boost converter with LM317).

The input to the circuit (via the boost converter) is a screw terminal. So I'm trying to connect the power supply (see above link) to the circuit, via a screw terminal.

I'm essentially looking for a connector like this, but the correct size (5.5x2.5mm), and capable of handling 10A (I will be drawing just under 8A but am keen to derate the circuit wherever possible for safety and longevity of components).

The barrel adapter? I usually see them called CCTV adapters

The plugs come in different sizes, I know a 2.1 x 5.5mm male connector will fit the LCD controller I have.

I don't have this adapter, but it may work for you:

it seems to be sold by the same people that I got the LCD controller from, and seems to be what Amazon calls "Frequently Bought Together" when you look at the Amazon LCD controller page:

however the cable length is about 110CM or 43.3 inches, thats a little short for VR usage, but you may not find many alternatives with a longer cable, and may have to make an extension cable, I used male and female power connectors like this:

and some wire to give me about 10 foot of cable.

Seems like if the heatsink is in your tent it wouldnt really do much unless it's right by your out take. But cheap enough I guess you can try

You just need a 12 V power supply and then get a female dc barrel connector for the red and green wires. It says it should be six amps.

This will probably work for you:

In the manual it doesn't fully tell you where to put the power leads. Hook it up like in the youtube video linked by the other guy. If the directions are backwards, reverse the motor. Red is + and black is -.

You will need a 12 V DC power supply. Often called wall warts or wall plugs. You can get one on Amazon, Fry's, Best Buy, etc. Here's the first one I found, I have no idea about whether it's a good brand or good price or anything. Read the reviews. It's a 2 Amp which exceeds the minimum I calculated earlier, but you could go for a 3 amp as well:

You will need the little plug that take DC power as input and outputs a red and black wire. Here's an example:

You will also need wire to go from the plug to the board, and since there are multiple points on the board to connect to +12V and 0V, you will need jumper wires to spread to multiple terminals like she does in the video. So you need something like this.

Finally to cut and strip the insulation from the wires you will need something like this.
