Dell 12V 6A 72W Power Adapter
This Dell-branded AC adapter supplies 12 volts at 6 amps for a total of 72 watts. It uses a 5.5 by 2.5 millimetre barrel connector and includes a three-pin UK mains lead. The unit is intended for LCD monitors, LED strip lights, routers and security cameras.
Practical limits of the barrel connector interface
The 5.5 by 2.5 millimetre tip fits many monitors and low-voltage peripherals, but it will not mate with the smaller 5.5 by 2.1 millimetre jack found on some devices. Polarity and voltage must match the equipment label exactly, otherwise damage can occur. The adapter accepts 110 to 240 volts AC input for worldwide use.
Replaces original 12V adapters up to 72W
This unit replaces factory adapters rated at 12 volts and up to 6 amps, covering models such as LSE0111B1275, 0219B1280 and Planar 997-3162-00. It is not suitable for devices that require higher current, different voltage or a different connector size. The jump is worth it when the original supply has failed or been lost.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A or 6A version for my device?
Match the amperage to the original adapter — 1A and 2A use a 5.5*2.1mm tip, while 3A, 4A, 5A and 6A use a 5.5*2.5mm tip.
What does the 72W rating mean when the adapter is running a monitor or LED strip?
It delivers up to 12V at 6A continuously, so a 12V monitor drawing 5A or a 5m 5050 LED strip will run within its limit.
How does the barrel connector and 110–240V input affect what I can plug it into?
The 5.5*2.5mm barrel fits compatible Dell monitors and listed devices, while the wide-range AC input works on any mains supply from 110V to 240V.
