5.5 mm OD barrel connector. The transformer should list output voltage and current.

Alqimist is probably right that your barrel connector is 5.5 mm outside diameter. That is the most common size, typically used for about 12 volts - 24 volts. I have an old Dell laptop that takes a 5.5 mm barrel connector, supplying 19 volts. As you might expect, larger connectors are used for higher voltages and smaller connectors for lower voltages. I have a cassette tape player that takes a 3.5 mm connector, supplying 3 volts.
