    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for power adapter technology that includes an adapter plug having a housing, a plurality of contacts positioned within the housing, wherein the plurality of contacts includes one or more configuration channel contacts, and a piezoelectric membrane positioned on an external surface of the housing, wherein the piezoelectric membrane is electrically connected to the one or more configuration channel contacts. Additionally, sink device technology may detect a signal from the piezoelectric membrane of the adapter plug via the configuration channel contact(s), wherein the signal indicates user contact with the adapter plug, and disconnect a bulk capacitor from a receptacle adjacent to the adapter plug in response to a disconnect condition associated with the user contact.
