Once in a while Adafruit find products that have center negative DC power jacks and they really make Adafruit mad because who keeps around both positive and negative polarity versions of every voltage? Now, hopefully USB Power Delivery will solve this long term, but till then this 2.1mm DC polarity reversal adapter will have to do!

Usage is very simple: plug onto any 2.1mm/5.5mm DC plug (or jack!) and what was center-negative will magically swap to center-positive. Now your guitar pedals, label printers, etc will be able to use the common DC power adapters you have on hand.
