Abstract
A power adapter includes a circuit board, an electromagnetic interference filter, a shielding element, a power factor correction (PFC) inductor, a transformer and heating elements. The circuit board has a front side and a back side corresponding to each other, and a first long side and a second long side parallel to each other. The front side of the circuit board is divided into a first region, a second region and a third region along an extending direction of the first long side. The electromagnetic interference filter is disposed in the first region and close to the first long side. The shielding element is disposed in the first region and close to the electromagnetic interference filter. The PFC inductor is disposed in the first region of the circuit board and close to the second long side. The PFC inductor has a first long axis. The transformer is disposed in the third region and close to the first long side. The transformer has a second long axis, and the first long axis is perpendicular to the second long axis. The heating elements are disposed at the back side of the circuit board.
