A 7.4x5.0mm power jack for a PicoPSU?
Posted: Mon Dec 17, 2012 12:25 pm
Hello there.
We cleaned the stores at my workplace and threw out a lot of equipment that was no longer needed, including a few power bricks for laptops we've stopped using, some of them unused. I've picked one, a 120W for an HP laptop, and ordered a PicoPSU 120-WI-25, planning to pair the two. When the PicoPSU arrived, I was quite surprised to discover that there are quite a lot of different DC power jacks and the PicoPSU did not match the power brick... A newbie mistake.
So no I need a way to pair the two. The power brick has a 7.4x5.0mm with a center pin connector while the PicoPSU has a 5.5x2.5mm one. I've been scouring the Internet for the past few days but couldn't locate a matching adapter. Another option would be to replace the 5.5x2.5 connector altogether, but again, I was unable to find a mini fit jr (which, as far as I could tell, is the name of that 4 pin square connector) to 7.4x5.0 adapter.
Am I stuck with a pair of incompatible pieces or is there a solution?
