Have you ever wondered about the purpose of this mysterious black box? This article will reveal its secrets.<\/p><p>Conventional laptop &#8220;black box&#8221; adapters often use circular connectors (tips). Generally, the power provided by the power plant is Alternating Current (AC), while the electronic components in the laptop device require different, stable and continuous DC voltages, and the power required for charging is direct current (DC).<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>In this case, the &#8220;black box&#8221; is responsible for converting the alternating current voltage from the wall socket into the direct current voltage required by the laptop. This &#8220;black box&#8221; is what we know as the laptop adapter. Since the charging control of the laptop is located inside the computer, the laptop adapter can be considered as a part of the laptop&#8217;s external battery operation. By using an external &#8220;black box,&#8221; the laptop can reduce the control chips required, making the laptop smaller in size.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>If you need to purchase an additional laptop charger, in addition to ensuring that the charging connector is the same, you also need to pay attention to the charging specifications of the voltage requirement.<a href=\"https:\/\/innergie.com\/mea\/blog\/how-to-choose-the-right-adapter-for-your-laptop\/\"> For more information, please refer to the previous Classroom article (Learn more).<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-197cc6d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"197cc6d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-790de5f\" data-id=\"790de5f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8c85a0a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8c85a0a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>USB-C Laptop Adapter<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1649728 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1649728\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1c535ee\" data-id=\"1c535ee\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3458163 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3458163\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Although the majority of current laptop adapters use circular connectors, with the EU&#8217;s unified USB-C connector regulations in place, major laptop manufacturers begin to develop laptops with USB-C charging interfaces.<\/p><p><br><\/p>\n<p>USB-C chargers have the Power Delivery (PD) protocol <u><a href=\"https:\/\/innergie.com\/mea\/blog\/understand-pd-qc-fast-charging-technology\/\">(Learn more about PD and QC fast charging<\/a>)<\/u>, which can flexibly adjust the voltage and current during the charging process according to the power supply requirements of the charging device. Traditional laptop adaptors with circular connectors mostly output around 19\u00b15V. With the PD protocol, USB-C laptop chargers can adjust the voltage output according to the charging conditions (mainly 5V\/9V\/15V\/20V).

Obviously, in terms of the shape of the charging connector, the USB-C connector is a flat rounded rectangle, which is different from the circular shape of the conventional laptop adapter connector. Therefore, the two types of laptop chargers cannot be used interchangeably. However, you can use a &#8220;laptop adapter converter&#8221;, which works similar to an adapter and converts the USB-C connector to a circular connector. In addition, the converter can use internal circuits to convert the appropriate voltage and current for the device.<\/p><p><br><\/p><p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Recommend using the Innergie 18T,\nspecifically designed for Innergie laptop adapter.
