The clamp on power cord USB charger is an electric energy distribution device. The clamp on power cord USB charger draws ac electric energy from the national electric grid by tapping into the cable of an electric device. The converts the drawn ac electric energy into dc electric energy. The clamp on power cord USB charger distributes the dc electric energy in a manner suitable for use by USB devices. The clamp on power cord USB charger comprises a pan, a lid, a fastening structure, and a rectifying circuit. The pan, the lid, and the fastening structure enclose the rectifying circuit. The rectifying circuit: a) taps into the cable to draw ac electric energy from national electric grid; and, b) converts the drawn ac electric energy into dc electric energy.
