Abstract
An enclosure for an AC to DC adapter has a continuous and apparently monolithic exterior appearance. The enclosure includes a housing and a cap that are joined together by one or more weld joints. The weld joints create flash on the exterior surface of the enclosure and the flash is removed by forming a chamfer along the weld joint such that it removes a portion of the housing and the cap.
