Here’s the first 240W USB-PD charger you can actually buy
You can now buy a USB-C charger that finally hits the promised power spec for beefy laptops at a max rate of 240W. You probably do not need this charger, and you may not have a device that even supports its peak power, but it’s here now if you want one to future-proof your office setup.
Delta Electronics’ ADP-240KB charger is an AC power supply that supports the maximum charge speeds possible on the USB-C Power Delivery (USB-PD) standard. It’s available from US component distributor Mouser Electronics for $126.37 plus shipping, or slightly less if you want at least 10. It’s advertised as a desktop AC adapter and comes as a dull black brick with a standardized three-prong AC in port (the AC cable is not included).
Delta isn’t exactly a household name, but you may already own something made by the company. It’s an Original Design Manufacturer (ODM) — which is a company that makes products purchased by an OEM for rebranding.
In Delta’s case, it makes power supplies, fans, and other components for computer makers like Dell or Lenovo. Your laptop charger may have the branding of the OEM; however, they’re likely made by an ODM.
