Compact adapter for legacy notebook power
This adapter converts a 4.0 x 1.7 mm barrel connector to a USB-C male plug, letting older laptops draw power from a modern PD charger. It suits users who want to replace a lost proprietary brick with a single multi-port GaN supply. The tiny 53 x 15 x 13 mm housing weighs about 9 g and slips into any cable pouch.
Requires a PD-capable charger and correct polarity
The unit needs a USB-C power source that supports Power Delivery; a standard 5 V phone charger will not activate the notebook. Polarity is fixed, so reversing the barrel plug prevents operation and could damage equipment. No driver or software is involved — the connection is purely passive once the PD handshake succeeds.
Delivers up to the notebook’s rated barrel input
The adapter passes whatever voltage and current the PD charger negotiates, up to the limits of the 4.0 x 1.7 mm jack on the target machine. It cannot increase wattage beyond what the charger provides, so high-draw gaming laptops may still need their original high-wattage supply. Barrel tips with different inner diameters are not compatible.

Questions about this item
What power limit does the adapter hit first during sustained use?
The adapter requires a USB-C PD charger; without PD negotiation it will not pass power at all.
Does the adapter generate noticeable heat or noise when used all day?
It contains no active components, so it produces no fan noise and only minimal warmth from passive conduction.
What must I already own for this adapter to work?
A USB-C Power Delivery charger and a device with a 4.0 × 1.7 mm DC input jack.
