D-Tap Connector Soldering Kit (Male)
Anton Bauer Standard with Gold-Plated Solder Cup Contacts
article number: 10615 | manufacturer number: DTAPMale | EAN/UPC: 758263167342
This PowerTap / D-Tap / P-Tap connector is supplied as a kit for custom cable assembly. The male connector follows the widely used Anton-Bauer standard and is suitable for transmitting direct current in professional camera, broadcast, and battery systems.
The compact connector is intended for users who want to make their own power cables, adapter cables, or custom lengths. The cable exit can be selected on either side, allowing the cable to be routed left or right depending on the installation situation.
The kit is straightforward to assemble and is suitable for both thinner and thicker cables. The integrated metal strain relief is anchored in the housing and transfers pulling forces directly to the housing rather than stressing the solder joints or contacts.
A particular advantage is the contacts with solder cups. Compared to simple contacts with small recesses, they offer a larger contact surface and enable a more stable solder connection to the cable.
The polarity is marked on the connector, making it easy to follow the correct contact arrangement during assembly. If needed, the polarity can be quickly adjusted by arranging the contacts accordingly.
The cable exit can be used on either the left or right side. The unused side is closed with the included hole cover to keep the housing neatly sealed.

Questions & Answers▲
What type of connector is included in this kit?
The kit includes a male PowerTap / D-Tap / P-Tap connector following the widely used Anton-Bauer standard. It is designed for transmitting direct current in professional camera, broadcast, and battery systems.
Is this a ready-made cable or a component for custom assembly?
This is a solder kit intended for custom cable assembly. It is supplied as individual components so you can create your own power cables, adapter cables, or custom lengths.
What does gold-plated solder cup contacts mean and why does it matter?
Solder cup contacts feature a small cup-shaped recess that holds the wire in place during soldering, providing a larger contact surface compared to simple contacts with small recesses. The gold plating helps maintain reliable conductivity and resistance to corrosion over time.
Can the cable exit direction be chosen freely?
Yes, the cable exit can be selected on either the left or right side of the housing depending on your installation situation. The unused opening is closed with an included hole cover to keep the housing neatly sealed.
How does the metal strain relief protect the connection?
The integrated metal strain relief is anchored directly in the housing. This means pulling forces acting on the cable are transferred to the housing rather than to the solder joints or contacts, which significantly extends the service life of the assembled cable.
Is the connector compatible with standard D-Tap devices and batteries?
Yes, the connector follows the Anton-Bauer standard, which is the widely adopted specification for D-Tap / PowerTap connections. It is compatible with devices and batteries that use this standard in broadcast, camera, and related professional applications.
What cable diameters can be used with this connector?
The kit is suitable for both thinner and thicker cables. The metal strain relief accommodates a range of cable sizes, making it flexible for different wiring scenarios in professional environments.
How is the correct polarity identified during assembly?
The polarity is clearly marked on the connector housing, making it straightforward to follow the correct contact arrangement during soldering. If a specific configuration requires it, the polarity can also be adjusted by arranging the contacts accordingly.
Is any special tool required to assemble this kit?
The assembly requires standard soldering equipment such as a soldering iron, solder, and basic hand tools for securing the strain relief. No specialist or proprietary tools are needed, making it accessible for users with general electronics assembly skills.
Is this connector suitable for use in broadcast productions?
Yes, the Anton-Bauer standard D-Tap connector is widely used in broadcast and camera applications. The robust construction with metal strain relief and gold-plated contacts meets the reliability demands of professional production environments.
