omg! :!: adaptors, transformers, thingys??? :? :? lucky i cant be bothered; it's dh's dept, after all.
Hmm, let's go with the current nomenclature and not cause any more confusion. How about 'AC/DC adaptors' for those with voltge/current/wattage ratings that are actually transformers and 'socket adaptors' for those devices that adapt the various pin connections at the power supply. Sounds good?mckenzy:
i think calling an AC Adapter a Transformer will just confuse everyone no?
when i order a notebook from my Dell Supplier, the specifications indicate the 'transformer' as a \"90W,3-PIN,AC ADAPTER\"
Most, if not all, AC/DC adaptors supplied with electronic gadgets nowadays can handle 110 or 220 -240 VAC (it's always good to confirm before plugging the device into a new location).
It's the socket adaptors that are more troblesome since there are many variations across different countries. A good universal socket adaptor
will cover all known variations.
but thanks guys (both of u are guys?), hope it's useful for future travellers! -
This is very useful for our next travel hopefully next year!
