Measurements

Konig%20Mini%20USB%20charger%20PSUP-GSM02%20230V%20load%20sweep

The charger can easily deliver the rated 2A, over current protection is at about 2.6A

Konig%20Mini%20USB%20charger%20PSUP-GSM02%20120V%20load%20sweep

Or slightly higher when running 120VAC.

It can run for one hour at full rated load without problems.
The temperature photos below are taken between 30 minutes and 60 minutes into the one hour test.

Temp3475

M1: 48,0°C, HS1: 63,1°C
HS1 is the transformer.

Temp3476

HS1: 68,1°C

Temp3477

M1: 48,7°C, HS1: 70,4°C

Temp3478

M1: 35,7°C, HS1: 44,3°C
The cable gets slightly warm at full current.

10ohm

Noise at 0.5A load is: 9mV rms and 330mVpp.

5ohm

Noise at 1A load is: 9mV rms and 305mVpp.



Tear down

Pressing the bottom part with my vice and giving a few wack to the top broke it open.

It has a fuse at the mains input (F1) and a common mode coil between the two capacitors. Below the transformer is a safety capacitor and a inductor on the low volt side, above the transformer is the rectifier diode and a opto coupler

DSC_7446

In the center is the common mode coil (L1).

DSC_7447

The fuse, the safety capacitor (With markings) and the low voltage inductor is here.

DSC_7448

It looks like this model can also be made with a normal usb connector mounted on the circuit board.

DSC_7449

The switcher IC is hidden below a capacitor.

DSC_7444

On this side the bridge rectifer (BD1) can be found and the voltage reference (IC2). There is also two more rectifier diodes (D3 & D5). As can be seen on the circuit board this design is fairly old.

DSC_7451

The safety distance is good.

The charger failed testing with 2830 volt and 4242 volt, I was very surprised about that, the design looks good enough.



Conclusion

The charger looks good, but mini usb us a bit old and the due to the failed high voltage test I will not recommend it.
