Power adapters having a small-form factor, can deliver a large amount of power, can charge multiple electronic devices, and can allocate power between the multiple electronic devices in an efficient manner. One example can provide power adapters having small form factor that can be achieved by including space-efficient structures. This example can have an enclosure with first openings for power prongs, a second opening for a first connector receptacle, and a third opening for a second connector receptacle. An alignment adapter can be electromagnetically located between the power prongs and the first connector receptacle and between the power prongs and the second connector receptacle. The alignment adapter can include a compensating feature to allow each of the power prongs to be aligned with corresponding first openings, the first connector receptacle to be aligned with the second opening, and the second connector receptacle to be aligned with the third opening.
