Phihong Announces 45W USB Power Delivery 2.0 Adapter with USB-C

Phihong has introduced a new 45W USB power adapter that is ideal for charging a wide variety of mobile electronic devices and peripherals, including mobile phones, tablets, notebook computers, monitors, and networking devices. The new 45W USB wall plug adapter, designated the PSA45A-200Q, features the latest USB 3.1 Type-C receptacle, which allows users to plug the USB Type-C cable in whichever way they would like, eliminating frustrating connection attempts. Compliant with the USB Power Delivery Specification, the adapter can add up to 20V to the USB Power Delivery Profile 3 output voltage, delivering 5V or 12V at 3A or 20V at 2.5A, depending on its USB communication with the powered device. As such, this model is capable of charging both Chromebook and MacBook computers.

The adapter is also certified to IEC/EN/UL 60950-1 safety specifications, and has built-in over-voltage, over-current, short-circuit, and over-temperature protections.
