Dell PA-60W USB-C Power Adapter
The Dell PA-60W is a 60 W AC-to-DC adapter that delivers 12 V at up to 5 A from a 100-240 V input. It is built for devices such as LED strip lights, DVR and NVR security cameras, hubs, audio equipment and 3D printers that require a steady 12 V supply.
Barrel connector size
The critical specification is the output jack: 5.5 mm outer diameter with a 2.5 mm centre pin, which also accepts 5.5 mm x 2.1 mm plugs. If your device needs a different barrel size or a voltage other than 12 V, this adapter will not fit or could cause damage.
Installation and common issues
The unit ships with two detachable power cords and a short 5 in USB-C tether, so connection is a simple plug-in. The most frequent mistake is using it for laptops or screens that expect a higher voltage or a USB-PD negotiation; the adapter provides fixed 12 V only and has no data lines.
