Solar Charger Barrel Size?

Postby iceboi714 » Thu Jan 05, 2012 6:54 pm

Hey,

I haven't read much about barrel plugs so I could be mistaken.

On the product page it says there is a 2.1mm to 1.4mm adapter which fits the barrel fine.
http://adafruit.com/products/390

But when reading about it off ladyada's site it mentions a 1.7mm plug.

Which one is it? or does both work fine?

Also with the Medium 2W Solar panel, the description says 3.5mm x 1.3mm, but off of Voltaic it says a 3.5mm x 1.1mm. Which is correct?

If someone can clear this up for me it would be great. Thanks.

the voltaic panels are 1.1mm
you can use 1.3-1.7mm (1.5mm nominal) with the jack
