The OEM has the plastic insulator extending into the opening of the positive conductor. This way if you insert the plug into the headphone jack it will not connect to any part of the headphone jack. The plugs that I have and I have five or six of the same size and maybe 50 of other sizes, have the inner conductor (Positive) extending out to the end of the plug. If you insert this type plug in the headphone jack then you have a good chance of putting 12 VDC into your head phone circuit.

I don't mean to beat this to death but it could save someone a migraine.
Here is a youtube video I just uploaded showing what I am trying to explain. You can see the difference in the end of the plug. Some of my other power supply plugs do have the extended insulator but only two or three out of maybe fifty.
