Need a 5.5x3mm female to 5.5x2.5mm male charger plug converter, please help me find one!

[Olympus81]

Hello!

I have a Samsung R528 laptop, with a CPA09-004A / AD-6019R charger, that possibly has an 5.5x3mm plug. A firend of mine gave me a laptop, for which he couldn't find the charger (PSL49E-00C005KS) and possibly has a 5.5x2.5mm charger plug. So my intent is to use my laptops charger to try out this other laptop (both laptop needs equal Voltage input), but I couldn't find anywhere a 5.5x3.5mm female to 5.5x2.5mm charger plug converter. So my question is, to please give me some tips in what webshops could i possibly find such a charger plug converter?

I'm mainly asking for EU webshops, or maybe Chineese ones.

Thank you!

Are you sure you're looking for the correct type of plug? Male vs female plugs can be confusing, and even vendors get it wrong.


Also, are you sure it's 5.5x3.5mm? I haven't really seen 5.5x3.5mm, usually stuff is 5.5x2.1 or 5.5x2.5

You're backwards in the Male/Female pointing.

I am not. Feel free to check wikipedia where I've cited. It's a common misconception. The side with the pin, even if recessed, is male.

The specs for the charger should be on the label on the laptop. Most generic chargers are 5.5*2.5 though and adapter tips are easy to come by. If you look on Amazon you can fid kits with 10-15 of them or look for a specific one relatively cheap. You can even fid USBC trigger cables and bypass the brick completely as long as you don't need more than 100W.

Thanks, but whatever would be the right appellation, almost all of the webshops I have found yet, names them the opposite way.

I have look up on Amazon already, but couldn't find exactly this type.

Important correction: Sorry I have misstyped in the title before: The female side of the converter actually needs to be 5.5x3mm and NOT 5.5x3.5!!!

I agree that many sellers label male/female the opposite.

Edit: removed link, thought it was 5.5mm but is 6.5mm.

You can "probably" find these cheaper like $1-2, on Aliexpress or Temu if willing to wade through their site to find them, and wait a few weeks for delivery. Maybe less on ebay as well but a couple bucks added as postage.

The gotcha with temu and aliexpress is that there's usually a min order of $15 or $10, respectively, or else a large shipping cost.

This may not be the case if it's your first order.

^ True but they have literally tons of stuff that's dirt cheap. I find it hard NOT to spend $10+ on other things I see, while searching for the thing I went there to find.
