A laptop power cord (or power cable) is the cord that connects your laptop’s AC adapter (the brick or box) to the wall outlet or power source.<\/p>\n
It’s important to understand the two main components involved in charging a laptop:<\/p>\n
The AC Adapter (or Power Supply\/Charger): This is the large brick that converts the alternating current (AC) from your wall socket into the direct current (DC) that your laptop’s battery needs.<\/p>\n
The Power Cord (or Cable): This cord connects the AC adapter to the electrical outlet.<\/p>\n
Power Cord Types
\nThe most common type of connector used on the AC adapter end of the power cord is the IEC C5 connector, often nicknamed a “cloverleaf” or “Mickey Mouse” connector . Other less common types you might encounter are the IEC C7 (“figure-8” or “shotgun” connector) or a standard straight three-prong (IEC C13).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
