Delta always values research and development, an idea that it upholds when designing adapters. That’s why Delta never worries about price wars as it transitions from being a pure industrial brand to including commercial brands because of its unwavering technological expertise. Delta’s adapters possess not only high quality but also pioneering 93% efficiency compared to competitors’ 90%, winning trust from clients.
Delta is dedicated to exploring more creative control modes and pushing the boundaries of new topologies. In a topology, a controller IC and a magnetic component are the two most important factors that contribute to a high quality adapter. The recipe for Delta adapter’s success includes competitive magnetic components and innovative control modes, resulting in higher energy conversion efficiency. In recent years, Delta is progressively adopting GaN technology and continuously pushing its limits for premium products.
Adapter Applications Go beyond the IT Field
With the advancement of technology, the performance of electric devices has improved, leading to an increase in power consumption. High power supplies have emerged to meet these demands. However, concurrently, consumers also desire the devices being light and slim. As a result, some products have shifted from embedded adapters to external adapters, aiming to reduce the weight and space occupied by the devices. Moreover, adapters can be separated from the devices. In comparison to traditional fixed plugs that connect directly to AC sockets, this design facilitates more convenient storage.
Therefore, the usage of adapters has expanded from PCs to gaming consoles, networking equipment, and even beyond IT fields, such as fruit tumblers, televisions, and other home appliances, as well as electric vehicles.
As electronic devices move towards higher power and smaller size, the trend of replacing built-in power sources with external adapters is gradually gaining popularity. It is anticipated that many household appliances will also switch to using adapters in the future, aiming for a more lightweight and compact design.
Delta’s adapter portfolio comprises of the PD Series and Non-PD Series. The former features Wall Mount and AC Socket form factors, power outputs from 30W to 140W and the popular USB-C charging interface. The non-PD Series then covers power outputs from 36W to 500W, including a rare high power 500W model which is suitable for gaming PC monitors or energy consuming home appliances.
In addition to the familiar daily usage for charging laptops and mobile phones, adapters are gradually expanding their application to include electronic products such as Bluetooth speakers.
While non-PD charging is still applicable to many high-power products, the European Union, Brazil, India, and other places already announced the comprehensive adoption of USB-C connectors for small electronic products, which will undoubtedly accelerate the infiltration of the PD fast charging standard. Recently, Delta launched a high-power adapter that complies with the latest PD 3.1 protocol and is suitable for high-power electrical appliances. Delta is also developing "USB PD Dual Port Wall Sockets” that are expected to be adopted in households and public places in the future. With diversifying strategies in place, Delta aims to embrace the era that is dominated by PD fast-charging standard.
