An adapter is a device that changes characteristics of one electrical system or device into those of another that is otherwise incompatible.
Application:
Adapters are versatile devices used in various scenarios to ensure compatibility between different electrical systems or devices.
- Power Conversion: Adapting voltage, current, or plug types to power devices safely, such as using travel adapters for international power outlets.
- Device Compatibility: Connecting devices with incompatible ports, such as USB-C to HDMI adapters for connecting laptops to external displays.
- Audio and Video Equipment: Enabling connections between devices with different input/output standards, like 3.5mm to RCA audio adapters or VGA to HDMI converters.
- Charging Devices: Providing the correct voltage and plug type for charging gadgets like laptops, smartphones, and cameras.
- Specialized Equipment: Ensuring compatibility between industrial tools, medical devices, or other specialized equipment with specific electrical requirements.
