In-vehicle USB chargers saving tooling and engineering costs

Now available from TTI Europe, Molex's pre-assembled, off-the-shelf USB battery chargers target multiple in-vehicle locations. The parts deliver 5V and 1.5A, are compliant with battery charging (BC) 1.2 standards and help save tooling and engineering costs. The parts are designed for existing rocker-switch panels for commercial vehicles and are compatible with Molex automotive I/O connectors. The compact single-charger design enables a charging-port integration throughout the vehicle. The power-supply architecture is adaptable to existing application requirements, says the company.
