Original Abstract Submitted

power adapters and other electronic devices that are durable and can provide a large amount of power while having a small form factor. an example can provide a durable power adapter by providing a connector receptacle having a reinforced tongue. the tongue of the connector receptacle can be reinforced by having a center plate with one or more vertical portions that can be at least approximately at a right angle to a lateral portion of the center plate. this and other examples can provide a large amount of power while having a small form factor by providing a space efficient transformer having thermal dissipation components. this and other examples can provide a small form-factor by including a series of chokes formed as a module and including a variety of types of wires.
