DC Converter Cable 5.5x2.1mm Female to Female

This DC converter cable joins two 5.5mm x 2.1mm female barrel connectors with a centre pin. It measures 22 cm in total length and is rated for 1.5 A. The adapter lets you connect a standard HP Pavilion, Envy, EliteBook, ProBook, Compaq or Presario charger to HP Stream, Spectre, Sleekbook or Chromebook devices that require the pin‑type tip.

Suits owners of pin‑type HP chargers.

Buyers who need to adapt a regular HP barrel charger with a centre pin to the newer pin‑type HP laptop port will find this cable fits. Users whose power supplies or laptops use a different barrel diameter, a different pin arrangement or a proprietary connector other than 5.5 mm x 2.1 mm should look elsewhere.

5.5 mm x 2.1 mm female-to-female with centre pin

The decisive specification is the pair of 5.5 mm x 2.1 mm female connectors, each containing a centre pin, on a 22 cm lead rated at 1.5 A. If your charger tip and laptop port both match this exact size and pin layout, the adapter will work; any other dimension or pin configuration makes it incompatible.

Questions about this item

Does the 22 cm cable generate noticeable heat when powering a laptop all day?

The adapter is a passive 22 cm cable rated for 1.5 A, so it produces negligible heat during continuous use.

What charger tip must I already own for this female-to-female 5.5 × 2.1 mm converter to work?

You need an existing HP power supply that has a 5.5 mm × 2.1 mm male tip with a centre pin.

Will this converter let me keep using my older HP Pavilion brick with a newer Spectre or Chromebook?

Yes, it adapts the pin-type 5.5 × 2.1 mm plug from the older brick to the pin-type port on Spectre, Stream, Envy or Chromebook models.
