Phihong has introduced a new series of 10W, fixed blade wall-plug adapters. Designated the PSM10A Series, the new wall-plug adapters deliver high efficiency at a low cost, making them ideally suited for a wide range of consumer electronics applications, including: wireless communications equipment, peripherals, portable equipment, and personal electronics, like PDAs.

Featuring Class II double insulation and Class B EMI, the series is also certified to UL/cUL 60950-1 safety specifications, and has built-in over-voltage, over-current, and short-circuit protections.

“Price/performance ratios are extremely important to consumer electronics OEMs, so we designed our new PSM10A Series to deliver the high quality, energy efficient performance they have come to expect from Phihong at an even lower price point to help them satisfy consumer demands for more competitive pricing,” said Keith Hopwood, vice president of Phihong.
