Streamline your workspace and protect your device ports with the 4.8mm x 1.7mm DC Plug to Socket Adapter. This specialized right-angle converter is designed to provide a secure, 90-degree power link, effectively eliminating cable strain and allowing for low-profile setups in cramped environments.
This adapter is easily distinguished by its yellow-coded tip, a standard industry identifier for the 4.8mm (Outer Diameter) x 1.7mm (Inner Diameter) connector size. Commonly utilized for various laptop brands, including specific HP and Compaq models, as well as various small electronics, this adapter allows you to convert a standard straight power lead into a space-saving L-shape.
90-Degree Right Angle: Prevents cable kinking and allows devices to sit flush against walls or within shallow shelving.
Industry-Standard Yellow Tip: Visual color-coding for quick identification of the 4.8x1.7mm connector size.

Wall-Mounted Displays: Routing power to monitors or tablets mounted on slim brackets.
IT Maintenance: A versatile addition to a technician’s toolkit for power port adaptation.
Will this work for my HP laptop?
Many older HP/Compaq laptops use the 4.8x1.7mm yellow tip. We recommend checking your original charger or measuring the port with a caliper to confirm.
Does the color of the tip matter?
Yes. In the world of DC connectors, the yellow tip almost always indicates the 4.8mm x 1.7mm size, making it easier to find the right match for your device.
Does this change the voltage?
No. This is a passive physical adapter. It simply changes the shape and direction of the connection; it will pass through whatever voltage your power brick provides.
