Slim 27-Watt USB Type-C Power Delivery Rapid Chargers

February 01, 2020 by Paul Shepard

Expanding on its line of fast charging solutions for personal electronics, Phihong has introduced the AQ27 series of USB Power Delivery chargers. The slim 27-Watt chargers are certified by USB to USB Power Delivery 3.0 specifications and have a built-in USB Type-C port.

USB Type-C offers higher charging current capabilities than USB A, which result in faster charging times. When connected to power delivery aware devices through a power delivery aware USB-C to USB-C cable, the intelligent AQ27 chargers can provide optimal negotiated output voltage and charging current.

The AQ27A-59CFA and AQ27E-59CFA are available for the USA and EU, respectively, and provide a negotiated single output of up to 5V/3A, 9V/3A, 12V/2.25A, 15V/1.8A to the powered device.

The AQ27A-59A and AQ27E-59A models, also for the USA and EU, respectively, have a Programmable Power Supply (PPS) feature providing a negotiated single output of up to 5V/3A, 9V/3A. The PPS feature allows the chargers to provide an even more efficient charge with small incremental adjustments to output voltage and output current, resulting in less battery heat and even faster charging times.

The AQ27A models measure 2.13 x 1.81 x 0.91” and are UL listed and the AQ18E models measure 2.83 x 1.81 x 0.91” and bear the CE mark.

All models come with over-voltage, over-current, short circuit, and over-temperature protection, comply with the U.S. Department of Energy Level VI and European Code of Conduct Version 5 Tier 2 efficiency standards, and are ideal for portable electronics and personal electronics applications.
