Compact 90-degree PD adapter
This 90-degree angled adapter converts a USB-C PD power source into a fixed 12V DC output through a 3.0x1.1mm barrel plug. It is designed for installers and hobbyists who need to power 12V equipment such as routers, cameras or LED modules from a standard PD charger or power bank. The built-in trigger chip handles the power negotiation automatically, so no configuration is required. The right-angle shape keeps cables tidy in tight enclosures.
Replaces bulky inline converters
Unlike straight dongles that protrude and stress the port, this elbow design sits flush against the device, reducing the risk of port damage from accidental knocks. It upgrades a basic USB-C PD supply into a dedicated 12V barrel feed without the need for a separate AC-DC brick. The jump is worth it when space behind a rack, cabinet or camera mount is too shallow for a straight connector. Devices that demand a different voltage or a larger barrel size cannot use this adapter.
Stable 12V under continuous draw
The PD emulator chip maintains a locked 12V rail as long as the source advertises a 12V PDO, delivering consistent voltage during extended operation. Heat stays low because the adapter only passes through the negotiated power without active regulation circuitry. Performance does not throttle during long recording sessions or overnight router uptime. If the connected charger drops the 12V profile under load, the output will cease until the profile is renegotiated.

Questions about this item
Will the 90° angled DC 3.0×1.1mm plug clear my tight equipment bay?
The right-angle elbow keeps the barrel connector close to the device chassis, preventing the cable from protruding straight out and reducing bend stress in confined spaces.
Do I need any drivers or configuration to get 12V from my PD power bank?
No software is required; the built-in PD trigger chip automatically negotiates a fixed 12V profile with any compliant USB-C PD source the moment you plug it in.
How do I know when the internal PD trigger chip has worn out and needs replacing?
If the adapter stops delivering 12V while the USB-C charger still powers other devices, the trigger circuitry has likely failed and the whole unit should be replaced.
