Ugreen X377 Type-C Female to DC Male Black Converter for HP Laptops (35066)
The UGREEN X377 (Model 35066) is a replacement / tip / adapter DC power connector tip designed for HP laptops. It is used to replace or adapt the barrel-style power plug on HP laptops, especially when using a universal or “tip-swappable” charger or power adapter. It ensures a snug fit and proper power delivery.
What It’s For
-
Meant to be used with a universal or “tip”‑type power adapter that allows changing the tip to suit different laptop brands.
-
Ensures correct voltage/current for HP laptops that require 19.5 V and sufficient current (~2.31‑3.33 A) to reach the adapter’s rated 67 W.
-
Helps avoid having to carry multiple different branded chargers; can reuse one charger with multiple tips.
Advantages & Benefits
-
Fit & Stability: Designed to match HP’s barrel jack specs, so reduced risk of loose connection, sparking, or frequent disconnections.
-
Cost‑Effective: Less expensive than buying a whole charger; good for replacing just the tip if damaged, lost, or worn out.
-
Travel‑Friendly: Small, lightweight; great for carrying as a spare tip rather than a full extra charger.
-
Safety: Built to maintain tight connector tolerances to avoid overheating; using the correct voltage and a compatible adapter helps reduce risk.
Important Notes / Considerations
-
Adapter Required: The tip itself is not a charger. It must be used with a compatible power adapter (one that supports the required voltage/current). If the adapter can’t deliver the rated power, charging might be slow or not possible.
-
Check Specs: Before using, verify your HP laptop’s required power input (voltage and amps) to ensure this tip is suitable. Some HP laptops use different voltages or power ratings.
-
Plug Compatibility: The physical size and plug shape must match your laptop’s DC jack. Even among HP laptops, there can be slight variations; ensure the barrel size is correct.
-
Wear & Tear: Over time, DC tips may suffer wear at their metal jacket or inner pin; ensure cleanliness and avoid bending strains to maintain good connection.
