Not at all. That's part of the drawback of barrel jack connectors. There is no standard voltage output. You can undervoltage your product input, or overvoltage

- userbinator 6y agoBefore the whole USB-C thing, the majority of laptops had already settled on something like 18-20V (with some of the smaller ones at 10-12V). The input tolerances are relatively wide and you are highly unlikely to cause damage unless the polarity is reversed. Here's some comments I made a few years ago explaining why that voltage: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12618406 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12618406 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7594383 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7594383
