IEC 62700

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

IEC Technical Specification 62700: DC Power supply for notebook computer is an IEC specification of a common standard for external laptop computer AC adapters. Laptops and AC adapters following this standard will have interchangeable power supplies, which will enable easy reuse of used power supplies (thereby reducing electronic waste) and make buying a new compatible power supply for a laptop simpler. [1] [2]

The specification will be published in early 2014.[1]

Alternatives

IEEE has a proposed standard Universal Power Adapter for Mobile Devices for laptops and other devices.

The USB Promoters Group's USB Power Delivery ("PD") specification support up to 100 W, and is intended to be able to power laptops.
