New Inspiron 16 Plus 7620 - barrel adapter?
Looking for an adaptor so that I can use the 4.5 mm barrel port instead of the Thunderbolt 4.0 port to charge with the provided charger. Does such a thing exist?

The Inspiron 16 Plus 7620 does have a barrel-type charging jack, according to the specifications. You can see it on the left side photo below:
Charging through the barrel-type jack or USB-C each requires a Dell 130-watt power adapter, as per specifications.

@filbert is spot on with his advice. In addition this forum post may help and this page at Amazon as well.

I am not looking for a power adaptor , I am looking for "an adaptor so that I can use the 4.5 mm barrel port instead of the Thunderbolt 4.0 port to charge with the provided charger. "
This would fit into the 4.5 mm port in the laptop and accept the USB C plug on the USB C charger that was supplied.

That may not allow power above 65-watts and may also not allow charging unless laptop is shut down, because it won't be recognized as a Dell power adapter. I have not seen such an adapter/dongle from Dell.

I see. Before you edited your post, you asked if it was possible to charge via barrel-type plug. That's why I got that information for you.
I have not seen such a device. Dell makes the opposite device, that lets you plug a 4.5mm barrel plug into the adapter/dongle that then plugs into a laptop's USB-C jack.

Something like this, but I would prefer to not order from Ali Express

@Microfiche
I looked at these type of adapters but non I found were rated for 130 watts. 100 was tops I spent about 20 mins searching for higher.
probably have to order 100 at a time from ali
