Housing for DC 5 way for 5.5 x 2.1 mm plug

Description

I found a small 5-way DC splitter but couldn’t find a fitting case, so I made one.

The splitter takes a single DC input and distributes it to five DC outputs. The housing is intentionally simple and needs no screws or additional hardware.

Assembly

• Slide in the five-output side first, gently.
• Then seat the single-input side.
• Align the two small locking tabs with the board’s screw holes, these snaps secure the board.
• Once the lid is on, the board is held firmly in place.

Printing

• I recommend PETG for a bit more flexibility.
• If you print in PLA, be extra careful on the 5-port side because forcing it can cause cracks.
