BiXPower CNT-X75 DC Power Connector Converter
7.4 x 5.08mm Center-Pin Female to 5.5 x 2.5mm Male
The BiXPower CNT-X75 is a compact DC power connector
converter that changes a compatible
7.4 x 5.08mm male connector with center pin
to a standard 5.5 x 2.5mm male DC barrel connector.
It is especially useful when you already have a compatible laptop-style
power adapter with a 7.4mm center-pin plug and need to connect it to
equipment that accepts a 5.5 x 2.5mm DC power plug.
Key Features
-
7.4 x 5.08mm female input for compatible round
7.4mm male connectors with center pin

5.5 x 2.5mm male output for equipment using this
common DC barrel connector size
-
Built with high-quality 16AWG wires
-
Supports up to approximately 6A maximum current
-
Approximately 190mm (7.5 inches) total length
-
Compact, simple plug-and-play connector conversion
-
No voltage conversion — maintains the voltage supplied by your
original power source
What Does the CNT-X75 Do?
The CNT-X75 converts the physical connector from a
7.4 x 5.08mm center-pin power plug to a
5.5 x 2.5mm male DC barrel plug.

5.5 x 2.5mm Male DC Plug
The 7.4 x 5.08mm connector style has been widely used with certain
Dell and HP/Compaq laptop power adapters. Before ordering,
please compare your connector carefully with the dimensions and images
shown on this page.
7.4 x 5.08mm Center-Pin Connector
The CNT-X75 female jack is designed to accept a compatible
round 7.4mm outside-diameter male connector with an
approximately 5.08mm inside diameter and center pin.
Important — Check Connector Shape Before Ordering
The CNT-X75 female side accepts a
round 7.4 x 5.08mm center-pin connector only.
Some power adapters use an octagonal or other non-round connector
housing. Those connectors will not fit this adapter even if the
connector dimensions appear similar.
How the Adapter Connects
Plug the compatible 7.4 x 5.08mm male center-pin connector
from your power adapter into the female side of the CNT-X75.
The other end provides a
5.5 x 2.5mm male DC barrel connector.

Important Electrical Compatibility
The CNT-X75 is a connector converter only. It does not
increase, decrease, or regulate the voltage from your power adapter.
Before use, make sure the power source and the device being powered have
compatible voltage, polarity, and current requirements.
The connector fitting physically does not by itself guarantee electrical
compatibility.
Maximum Current: Approximately 6A
The 5.5 x 2.5mm connector on this adapter can handle
a maximum current of approximately 6A.
At approximately 19V–20V, 6A corresponds to roughly
114W–120W. Do not exceed the connector's current
capability. Excessive current may cause the connector or connection
point to become hot.
Convert to Other DC Connector Sizes
Once the original 7.4 x 5.08mm connector has been converted to a
5.5 x 2.5mm male connector, you can also use compatible
BiXPower C-series connector adapters to convert the 5.5 x 2.5mm plug
to other connector sizes when needed.
Typical Applications
- Compatible Dell-style power adapters
- Compatible HP/Compaq-style power adapters
- Laptop AC/DC power adapters
- Portable DC-powered equipment
- Battery and portable power systems
- DC barrel connector conversion
- Electronics and DC power projects
Before Ordering
Please confirm that your existing power adapter has a
round 7.4 x 5.08mm male connector with center pin
and that the equipment you want to power accepts a
5.5 x 2.5mm male DC plug.
Also verify voltage, polarity, and current compatibility before connecting
your equipment.
