Compact USB-C charger for mobile devices

The Tripp Lite U280-W01-40C1 is a 40 W wall adapter built for USB-C smartphones, tablets, e-book readers and notebooks. It uses GaN circuitry to keep the enclosure small while delivering full Power Delivery 3.0 rates. Travellers and remote workers get a single brick that replaces several proprietary chargers.

40 W maximum output with four voltage steps

The adapter negotiates 5 V, 9 V, 15 V or 20 V DC up to 3 A, topping out at 40 W. That ceiling decides whether a given laptop will charge at full speed or fall back to a slower rate. Check the device’s required wattage before buying; machines that need more than 40 W will not reach their peak charging performance.

Plug-in installation with international voltage

The unit accepts 120 V AC and 230 V AC, so it works worldwide with only a passive plug adapter. No drivers or configuration are required — connect a USB-C cable and the charger negotiates power automatically. The only common issue is using an under-rated cable that limits current below 3 A, which prevents the adapter from reaching its 40 W maximum.
