FREMONT, Calif. (August 02, 2007)
— Phihong USA, the global leader in external power supplies, has expanded its line of linear replacement products to include a 5W wall plug. Designated the PLA05A, this lightweight, high efficiency, universal-input, California Energy Commission (CEC)-compliant adapter is ideal for applications such as
cordless head sets, Bluetooth® device chargers, cell phones and other wireless communication devices.
“Phihong is the only manufacturer who offers a complete range of CEC-Compliant adapters and can fulfill the OEMs’ needs for affordable and compliant adapters for
consumer electronics,” said Keith Hopwood, vice president of marketing for Phihong USA. “The PLA series was developed as a low–cost replacement for non-compliant linear adapters.”
Phihong is able to offer its PLA Series linear replacement adapters at a lower cost than traditional switching adapters because they have eliminated the control and feedback circuits and components. Also, the adapter simply uses one primary control circuit. “The products have the benefits of a wide-range input switcher but the output regulation is more like a linear product,” Hopwood said.
The PLA05A measures 3.07 inches X 1.26 inches X 1.57 inches. The adapter is highly efficient, provides double insulation and has short circuit protection with auto
recovery. The device has zero minimum load and met the minimum efficiency requirements for Energy Star and CEC Compliancy level IV. Unlike linear adapters, these products have a wide input
voltage range of 90VAC to 264VAC and meet safety approvals for UL/ cUL 60950-1.
Pricing for Phihong’s 5W linear replacement adapter is $3.85 each in quantities of 1000. Lead-time is from stock to 16 weeks. A detailed specification is
available on the website at http://www.phihong.com/green.
Phihong is one of the leading suppliers of power solutions to consumer electronics OEMs, including power supplies and external adapters. With global sales
for 2007 expected to exceed $500 million, Phihong has engineering and manufacturing facilities in North and South America, Taiwan and mainland China. For more information contact Ka Yue Kwok,
