The present disclosure provides a power adapter including a body and a plug removably connected to the body. In one example, the plug has a second base defining a groove, a housing, and a prong rotatably mounted to the housing. In another example, the body has a tongue extending from a first base, which slides within the groove of the plug to prevent movement of the plug in a first direction. In one example, rotation of the prong actuates a pin held within the plug. For example, the pin recedes into the second base when the prong is in a first position and protrudes from the second base when the prong is in a second position. In one example, the pin prevents movement of the plug in a second direction, different from the first direction, when the prong is in the second position.
