It works, but you need a 45 watt charger to recharge your Dell computer.

I use a Dell 3550 laptop for work. The laptop only has one USB c port, which I wanted to use to connect a second external monitor. Thus, instead of spending $200 for a laptop docking station, I bought this to free up my USB C port. This USB to 4.5mm converter works like a charm for my USB C charger.

Funciona perfecto para conectar la laptop de una batería externa.

A very poor product! When I connected to my Dell computer it got very hot and began yo smoke!! I pulled it out of my computer quickly! Fortunately it did not damage my computer. I purchase a lot of items from Amazon and must say I have had good experiences with them. This is a product they should not sell!! Do not purchase this piece of crap!!

I have a Dell Inspiron 3000 series (3593). Before you decide to order it, there are a few things you need to make sure of.1. Your laptop must be able to receive a female 4.5 mm barrel jack. If the part number on your OEM Dell Power Supply is ‘LA45NM140’, then this should work in your laptop. That doesn’t mean that other model numbers won’t work. I’m just confirming it does effectively replace my OEM.2. I believe this will accommodate both 45W and 90W power supply’s. I am using it to replace a 45w OEM power supply.3. If you want to power the laptop and charge it at the same time, you’ll want to use a power brick that delivers slightly more output than 45W or 90W respectively depending on your setup. I am using a 65W power brick that seems to be charging my 45W machine just fine. If I were using a 90W machine, then this wall adapter would not be sufficient. I only mention this because I can’t help but wonder if that’s where some of the difficulty lies with some of these reviews.4. All USB-C to USB-C cables are not equal. Some are rated for 100W. Others are only rated for 60W or less. If you are using a 90W machine, then you need a cable that can handle 100W.Once those boxes are checked, I don’t see any reason this wouldn’t work for you. I’ve had it plugged in on and off for the last couple days and so far my laptop hasn’t started smoking. If something changes, I will report back, but meanwhile I just reclaimed a ton of space in my briefcase. Next time I buy a laptop, it will have USB-C PD port, but I hope this solution will bridge the gap for 2 years. I don’t have any reason to upgrade right now.Hope this helps someone.

The standard Dell charging cord is a little unweildy and takes up more space in the laptop bag. This adaptor is functional and takes much less space.

My Dell Inspiron 7640 only has 1 USB-C port. It supports a Thunderbolt 4 Monitor cable (USB-C to DVI), but then I wouldn't have a charging port to use. I could have bought a hub, but why spend that money.With this charging adapter, I can use the barrel port on the side of the laptop (The Dell power supply was USB-C only.)

Round connector is a bit long, but works
