What this adapter does and who it serves
The DELL PD-118W is a 118W USB-C AC adapter built for laptops, tablets and phones that charge over USB Power Delivery. It replaces a lost or damaged original charger and works with MacBook Pro and Air models from 13 to 16 inches, iPad Pro models, plus a wide range of Android phones, Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck.
The specification that decides fit
Output is rated at 20V and 11.8A for a maximum of 118W, with automatic negotiation down to 85W, 96W, 87W, 67W, 61W, 30W and 29W profiles. Input accepts 100-240V AC at 1.5A, 50-60Hz. If your device requires a higher fixed voltage or a proprietary barrel connector, this unit will not match.
Thermals, noise and power draw
The adapter uses a corded electric design with no moving parts, so it runs silently. Efficiency reaches up to 96%, meaning waste heat stays low during a typical one-hour laptop charge. The housing remains warm but not hot under continuous 118W load, and the built-in protections against overcurrent, overvoltage and overheating keep power draw stable.
