How USB Type-C Mandates Affect External Power Supplies

Posted on

Power supplies incorporating USB standards have been popular for many years and will become even more widely used in the next few years. One significant action contributing to the future adoption of USB power supplies is the Council of the EU has recently approved a one-size-fits-all common charger directive mandating the use of USB Type-C ports on specified classes of consumer products beginning in 2024.

This mandate addresses only consumer products, but the adoption of USB power supplies for these products will be a significant catalyst for similar adoption in many industrial and other unrelated product categories. While ‘total ignorance’ of USB power supplies has been a fine attitude in the past and may also be so in the future, a small amount of knowledge regarding power delivery and USB will help to eliminate some frustrating situations for many users of the new USB supplies.
