There is no "standard" 12 V DC jack. Asking end users to buy a separate power supply is asking for trouble. Don't expect users to know about center-positive versus center-negative, and inner and outer barrel diameter. If this is an OEM product, then you can provide binding posts or even just labeled solder pads for +12 V and the return. Otherwise, your product should come with whatever power supply is needed.
