A new breed of USB Charger
Leviton added to its line of USB Charger Devices. The Type A and Type-C USB Charger/Tamper Resistant Receptacle offers two high powered vertical USB ports, one Type A and one Type-C, delivering a combined total of 5.1A charging current and 25+ watts of power, along with two additional tamper resistant receptacles.
The Type-C port within the receptacle provides up to 59% faster charging power compared to leading competitors based upon tests performed using a Lightning cable and the Type-C port with an iPhone 7, iPad Mini 1 and iPad Pro 9.7, the company said. Engineered utilizing smart chip technology, the device recognizes and optimizes the charging requirements of individual devices for faster charging of smartphones, tablets and other peripheral devices that use the Type-C cable.
“The Leviton Type A and Type-C USB Charger/Tamper Resistant Receptacle delivers faster, more powerful charging to a wide range of electronic devices, and the reversible Type-C connector allows users to easily plug in cables in either direction,” said William Randall, director of product management, Leviton Residential. “The addition of two tamper resistant receptacles not only improves child safety, but also provides a convenient solution for other power needs while devices are charging.”
The device is available in white, ivory, light almond, gray, black, brown and red, and is compatible with the complete line of Leviton Decora wiring devices, Decora wallplates and Decora Plus screwless wallplates.
