Electrical cable adapters offer connections to electrically join disparate plugs. For instance, they may allow us to connect the socket of an appliance to a plug in the wall without changing the voltage flow at any point. If you want to connect your cable to your adapter more permanently, you can weld the two together. The procedure requires only a few materials that you can easily obtain at your local hardware store.
