Replacement charger for Dell laptops
The Dell PA-12 AC power adapter delivers 65 watts at 19.5 volts and 3.34 amps through a 7.4 millimetre barrel connector. It accepts 100 to 240 volts AC input at 50 to 60 hertz for worldwide use. The unit is a genuine OEM replacement compatible with Inspiron, Latitude, Vostro, XPS, Studio and Precision models.
Included AC power cord and safety features
A standard non-braided rubber cable with a three-prong AC plug and nickel-plated connectors is supplied in the box. Built-in protection guards against over-voltage, overheating and short-circuit conditions. The adapter measures approximately 5.1 by 2.0 by 1.2 inches for easy transport.
65 watt output requirement
This adapter suits laptops that specify a 65 watt, 19.5 volt, 3.34 amp power supply with a 7.4 millimetre centre-pin barrel jack. It will not meet the needs of systems requiring higher wattage or a different connector size. Buyers needing more power or an alternative tip should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
Will the 7.4mm barrel connector or the 1.2-metre cable need replacing first?
The nickel-plated 7.4mm barrel connector is rated for thousands of insertions, while the standard rubber-jacketed cable is more likely to show wear from repeated bending near the strain relief.
What limits continuous output during all-day use?
The adapter is capped at 65W (19.5V 3.34A); sustained loads at that level will trigger the built-in over-temperature protection before any other limit is reached.
How much heat and fan noise should I expect when it runs 24/7?
There is no fan; the unit relies on passive convection, so it runs silently and the case becomes warm but stays within normal operating temperature for a 65W brick.
