Purpose-built power
This 48 W AC adapter is designed to power the Microsoft Surface Pro 3 Docking Station. It delivers a steady 12 V at 4 A so the dock can charge the tablet and run its connected peripherals without interruption. The unit is intended for users who need a replacement or spare power supply for that specific dock.
Capacity and headroom
The adapter accepts a universal 100-240 V input at 50-60 Hz, making it suitable for worldwide mains supplies. Its fixed 12 V 4 A output provides exactly the wattage the dock requires; it cannot supply more current for higher-demand devices. Protection circuits guard against thermal overload and short circuits.
Build integration
A standard USA plug connects directly to a wall outlet or power strip, while the output cable terminates in the proprietary connector that mates with the Surface Pro 3 Dock. No additional cables or converters are needed. The compact black enclosure occupies minimal desk space and frees the dock’s own port selection for data and display connections.
