Claim:
1. A power adapter comprising: a first connector; a first electrical assembly coupled to the first connector and comprising a plurality of AC to DC converter components, wherein the first electrical assembly is configured to receive an incoming AC voltage and convert it to a DC voltage using the plurality of AC to DC converter components; a second connector; a second electrical assembly coupled to the second connector and configured to accept the DC voltage and output the DC voltage via the second connector; and a single-piece insulator unit having a first side including one or more first recesses that receive at least one of the plurality of AC to DC converter components and a second side including one or more second recesses that receive at least a portion of the second electrical assembly, wherein the first electrical assembly is disposed adjacent to the first side and the second electrical assembly is disposed adjacent to the second side; and a housing enclosing the single-piece insulator unit and the first and the second electrical assemblies; wherein the single-piece insulator unit electrically insulates the first electrical assembly from the second electrical assembly and comprises a region that is recessed from the housing and one or more electrical conductors are routed in the recessed region electrically coupling the first electrical assembly to the second electrical assembly.
