    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for managing a light source of a power adapter includes: determining that the power adapter is coupled to a power supply; causing the light source to be in a first illuminated state indicating that the power adapter is receiving the power from the power supply; determining that a first instance of a threshold period of inactivity has occurred; causing the light source to be in an unilluminated state; determining that the power adapter is communicably coupled to an information handling system; causing the light source to be in a second illuminated state indicating that the power adapter is providing the power to the information handling system; determining that a second instance of the threshold period of inactivity has occurred; and causing the light source to be in the unilluminated state.

    Abstract: A high-performance single barrel power connector for receiving electric power may be capable of receiving more than 330 W up to approximately 600 W of power. The V+ pin and V− pin may each be configured with a large plurality of contact points for connecting to a power plug. A connector body retaining the V+ pin and V− pin may configured with openings to expose more of the V+ pin and V− pin to air and allow the V+ pin and V− pin to extend out of the power connector for convective and conductive heat transfer. A shell having a high thermal conductivity may be connected to the V− pin and V− pin and further connected to a bracket for increased heat transfer away from the V+ and V− pins.
