Compact 5.5 x 2.5 mm DC adapter for USB-C power

This Vszerda adapter converts a 5.5 x 2.5 mm barrel jack into a USB-C male plug. It lets you power compatible notebooks or devices from an existing barrel-type charger. The connector uses PC and metal construction and weighs about 9.5 g. Its small form factor makes it easy to carry in a laptop bag.

Thermals noise and power draw

The adapter is a passive component with no active electronics, so it generates no measurable heat or noise during normal use. Power draw depends entirely on the connected charger and the host device's requirements. The metal housing helps dissipate any incidental warmth from the contacts. No fan or cooling system is present or required.

Replaces bulky barrel cables and proprietary tips

This unit replaces a fixed barrel-to-barrel cable or a proprietary tip on a multi-voltage charger. The jump is worth it when you want a single USB-C cable to serve multiple devices and reduce cable clutter. It does not add voltage regulation or protocol negotiation, so buyers who need automatic voltage selection or higher wattage negotiation should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the 5.5 x 2.5mm barrel plug to the USB-C male end?

Insert the barrel connector fully into the female jack until it seats firmly, then plug the USB-C male end into the device port; the key step is ensuring the barrel is fully seated before applying power.

Will the PC and metal housing or the 9.5g connector need periodic replacement?

The adapter has no moving parts or consumable elements; the PC and metal construction is rated for the product life and does not require scheduled replacement.

At what point does the 52x16x13mm adapter become the limiting factor during continuous use?

The physical connector interface is the first limit; sustained current draw beyond the barrel jack rating will cause voltage drop or heating at the 5.5 x 2.5mm contact before any other factor.
