SCHLEGEL's new USB-charging jacks: Double the charge
Mobile devices are part of our everyday life and have to be available everytime, everywhere. It is all the more important to recharge the battery in time and fast. Our new and very powerful charging jacks fulfil these requirements.
The USB jacks are available in 3 different versions with 2 USB ports each, combinations of USB-A and USB-C: A/A, A/C and C/C. The USB-A port supplies up to 2.4 A and the USB-C port up to 3 A of charging rate at 5 V. This enables charging of two devices at the same time.
But not only the charging capacity is convincing, the scope of functions for safe operations is as well. The jacks come with a current limitation of the output current for each USB port, including also a protection against short-circuit, undervoltage and overvoltage.
Overload protection
The charging jacks can be operated within a temperature range of -40 °C to 70 °C. When the environmental temperature rises, a temperature sensor ensures that the electronics do not heat up too much. It regulates the charging current correspondingly or even stops the charging process automatically when critical temperatures are being reached. Only after the temperature returned to the uncritical state the charging process will be continued. Additional ventilation slits ensure a continuous cooling, especially when the circulation of air is restricted due to the mounting situation.
The robust double-USB charging jacks have a mechanical lifetime of min. 5,000 plugging cycles and are designed for a panel cut-out of 30.5 mm. The operating voltage ranges from 15 V to 30 V DC. The electrical connection is provided with a spring-load terminal for cable cross-sections from 0.2 to 2.5 mm².
The new SCHLEGEL charging jacks are also suitable for railway applications as all relevant parts comply with the standards EN 50155, EN 61373:2011 class 1B, EN 60077-1, EN 45545-2, EN 60068-2, EN-50121-3-2, IEC 61000-6-3/4, EBA EMV06.
SCHLEGEL currently offers the charging jack in 2 colours:
KRJSW_2USB_[A][AC][C]_5V with black front bezel and KRJM_2USB_[A][AC][C]_5V with silver-coloured front bezel.
