A computing device grounding adapter includes body members having opposite faces, one face being the receptacle with three female orifices and the other face having one male protruding blade, for connecting between a computing device power cord and the computing device itself thereby allowing electrical conductivity for the ground line only from the wall electrical outlet to the computing device.
Un adaptateur de mise à la terre pour périphériques informatiques comprend des éléments de corps présentant des faces opposées, une face étant la prise avec trois orifices femelles et l'autre face ayant une broche mâle en saillie pour permettre une connexion entre un cordon d'alimentation d'un périphérique et le périphérique lui-même, ce qui permet une conductivité électrique pour le conducteur de mise à la terre uniquement de la prise électrique murale au périphérique.
