Wall-mount AC/DC adapters boast mini-USB connectors

A series of wall-mount AC/DC power adapters that use mini-USB connectors for their DC power output have been launched by Emerson Network Power. The DCH3 series of AC/DC power adapters have a universal 100- to 254Vac input and generate a regulated 5V output, with a power capability of 3W. The power adapters are intended for charging portable CE devices, such as PDAs, digital cameras and mobile phones, that require a 5Vdc supply and use mini-USB connectors for their power input.

The DCH3 series of AC/DC power adapters offers a choice of three models with different input plugs, to suit the region of the world in which they are intended to be used. All three power adapters meet the Energy Star Level IV efficiency standard, have a very low safety ground leakage current of 10?A maximum, and provide a constant voltage, constant current output.

The power adapters act as voltage regulators protect against overvoltage and short-circuit conditions. They feature built-in EMI filtering and extensive safety approvals, including UL/cUL60950-1 and EN60950-1 VDE. They accommodate an ambient operating temperature range of 0 to +45°C.

Pricing is at $3.99 each in OEM quantities, with standard lead-time at stock to eight weeks.
