power adapter
Plug-in current converter
A power adapter converts electrical current from one form to another, typically allowing a device to run on power sources it wasn't originally designed for.
Wall adapters transform household AC current to the DC voltage needed by electronics: I forgot my laptop's power adapter.
Travel adapters let you plug devices into foreign outlets with different configurations.
The term often applies to any charging brick or power supply that connects a device to an electrical outlet.
