Adapters: The Tiny Tools That Keep You Connected
Whether you're charging your phone, plugging in a laptop, or traveling across continents, adapters are the unsung heroes that make it all possible. These compact devices bridge the gap between different plug types, voltages, and ports—ensuring your electronics stay powered and connected wherever you go.
What Is an Adapter?
An adapter is a device that allows one type of plug, connector, or power source to work with another. They come in many forms, including:
- Power plug adapters: Convert plug shapes for international travel
- USB adapters: Connect different USB types (USB-A, USB-C, micro-USB)
- Audio/video adapters: Link HDMI, VGA, or AUX ports
