Patent ID: 8651879

Claim:
A power adapter comprising: a base having first and second surfaces; a bounding piece that is mechanically connected to the base, the bounding piece and the base together defining a receiving volume; a first metal prong having a first end and a second end, wherein the first metal prong extends from the base and the first surface of the base is between the first and second ends of the first metal prong; a second metal prong having a first end and a second end, wherein the second metal prong extends from the base and the first surface of the base is positioned between the first and second ends of the second metal prong; a first metal base having first and second surfaces and a terminal extending from the second surface in a substantially straight direction, the first metal base mechanically and electrically connected to the second end of the first metal prong via an opening in the first and second surfaces of the first metal base, wherein the second surface of the first metal base is parallel to and faces away from the second surface of the base; a second metal base having first and second surfaces and a terminal extending from the second surface in a substantially straight direction, the second metal base mechanically and electrically connected to the second end of the second metal prong via an opening in the first and second surfaces of the second metal base, wherein the second surface of the second metal base is parallel to and faces away from the second surface of the base; and a circuit board disposed within the receiving volume and electrically connecting to the terminal of the first metal base and the terminal of the second metal base.
