Compact 30W GaN charger for phones and tablets

The Plugable Technologies 30W GaN USB charger delivers up to 30W of power over USB-C for rapid charging of phones, tablets and compatible laptops. It negotiates the optimal power level with each device and supports the USB Power Delivery 3.0 standard including PPS. Foldable prongs make it easy to slip into a pocket or bag. The cable is not included.

Cool GaN operation and travel-friendly design

Gallium-nitride circuitry runs cooler than traditional silicon chargers, so the block stays comfortable to the touch during use. The prongs flip up to protect them and surrounding items when the charger is packed. No fan or moving parts means silent operation. The compact form factor suits hotel desks, airport lounges and home outlets alike.

Single-port 30W limit for one device at a time

Only one USB-C port is provided, so you can charge just one device at full speed. Buyers who need to power a phone and a tablet simultaneously, or who want a charger with multiple ports, will need a different solution.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 30W GaN charger and what is the common mistake with the prongs?

Flip the prongs up until they click into the extended position, then plug the charger directly into a wall outlet. The common mistake is leaving the prongs folded flat, which prevents the charger from seating properly in the socket.

What maintenance or replacement will the 30W GaN charger need over time?

No internal maintenance is required for the GaN charger itself. The only item that may need replacement is the USB-C cable, which is not included and can wear out from repeated bending or connector damage.

What is the power limit that appears first when the 30W charger runs under sustained load?

The 30W output ceiling is the first limit reached. Once a device requests the full 30W continuously, the charger cannot supply more power, so charging speed will not increase beyond that negotiated level.
