Cable gender changer Microconnect USBC-DC-5A-12V USB C to 5.5*2.5 1.2m Black

MicroConnect USBC-DC-5A-12V is a 1.2 m cable gender changer that converts a USB-C port to a 5.5 × 2.5 mm DC barrel connector. The cable has aluminium-plated contacts and a soft TPE jacket, and includes an E-mark chipset to support current negotiation up to 5 A at 12 V for compatible devices.

Advantages

The adapter provides a compact and flexible way to power devices with a 5.5×2.5 mm DC input from USB-C power sources. Aluminium-plated plugs improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance, while the soft TPE cable offers durability and flexibility. The E-mark chipset enables proper power identification and safer power delivery when used with compliant USB-C chargers.

Suitable for

• Powering small electronics with a 5.5×2.5 mm DC jack from USB-C chargers
• Replacing or adapting existing DC power connections for laptops, routers, or LED drivers that accept 12 V/5 A (when device and charger support)
• Workshop or field use where a portable USB-C power source is available

How to use

Connect the USB-C plug to a compatible USB-C power source that can supply up to 12 V/5 A and has PD or appropriate power profiles. Insert the 5.5×2.5 mm barrel connector into the device’s DC input. Verify that the device accepts external power at 12 V and that the USB-C charger provides the required current. Disconnect by removing the barrel connector first and then unplugging the USB-C connector.

Recommendations

Use only with USB-C chargers and devices that support the required voltage and current. Avoid forcing connectors and inspect the cable and contacts regularly for damage. Do not exceed the rated 12 V/5 A and ensure proper ventilation for powered devices.
