True Blue Power has unveiled its newest USB charger. The TA245 Series USB chargers are designed for a compact footprint and an input voltage of 12-32VDC. The company says they are suitable for all GA, BA and commercial aircraft.
The product was unveiled during the New Product Introductions at the Aircraft Electronics Association (AEA) International Convention and Trade Show in Phoenix, Arizona.
TA245 Series charging ports are available in five configurations, including single and dual USB-C (45W) and USB-A (36W) versions, with adjustable halo ring lighting. The TA245 is designed to provide reliable convenience power to smartphones, tablets, electronic flight bags (EFBs) and laptop computers. It measures 1.5in wide and 1.25in deep, for installation in tight spaces, including in-seat, cabin, cockpit and galley applications.
“With the introduction of 45W charging ports, we now offer USB chargers for any aircraft with a 14V or 28V electrical bus,” said Van Winter, SVP of sales and marketing for True Blue Power. “The available range of power is unmatched and spans 15-100W per port. Customers have been asking for more power on lower voltage aircraft for years, and we’re proud to offer this upgrade.”
True Blue Power said the TA245 Series features advanced charging technology, including Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 capability in USB-A ports, and USB Power Delivery (PD) and ultra-fast charging Programmable Power Supply (PPS) technology in USB-C configurations. PPS functionality allows the charger to dynamically adjust voltage in small increments, optimising power delivery based on the device’s specific needs. True Blue Power said this ensures a faster, more efficient charge, extending battery life.
The TA245 Series is a direct replacement for any True Blue Power USB chargers. Customisable faceplates and adapter plates are available, and the TA245 is compatible with round and square installation options. All True Blue Power USB chargers offer a Limited Lifetime Warranty and feature built-in protection from short circuit, power surge, overload and over-temperature.
