Abstract
A power adapter arrangement configured to provide power to a load is described. The power adapter arrangement may comprise a power adapter having a first interface comprising a first plurality of contact elements, and a second interface comprising a switch configured to control power applied to a load; and a control attachment removably coupled to the power adapter, wherein the control attachment comprises an actuator element configured to make contact with the power adapter in response to a manual actuation of the control attachment; wherein the power adapter further comprises a power control circuit configured to receive the power and provide the power to the load in response to a detection of a manual actuation of the toggle element.
