Phihong has developed a new 9 W adapter with field interchangeable clips for use with tablets, peripherals, wireless and networking equipment.
Designated the PSAC09R series, the charger features a single output of 5 V d.c. with a Micro USB connector and is fully compliant with the Level V efficiency marking requirements. The adapter's constant current output also complies with USB's Battery Charger Specification Rev. 1.0, making it suitable for charging lithium ion batteries in personal electronics.
The unit is double-insulated, meets Class B EMI standards, and features short circuit, over-voltage and over-current protections. It is equipped with a constant-current feature that enables a quick charge on lithium ion batteries followed by a constant-voltage output to ‘top off.’
Targeted at frequent travellers and OEMs with a worldwide customer base, the PSAC09R features field interchangeable AC clips for Argentina, Australia, Brazil, China, Europe, Korea, India, the United Kingdom and the United States. A clip that has an IEC320 C8 input is also available to convert the wall plug into a desktop-style adapter able to be powered by a two-wire line cord. All AC clips are sold separately.
The adapter measures 71,7 by 45 by 29,79 mm and weighs 120 grams.
The 1,5 m output cable is terminated with a standard Micro-B USB connector. Phihong offers users the opportunity to change connectors in-house with no minimum order requirement.
