Ault Launches Transport 75 Mobile Power Adapter

March 30, 2003 by Jeff Shepard

Ault Inc. (Minneapolis, MN) launched its new Transport 75 mobile power adapter, which powers consumer products, including more than 200 laptop computer models, in vehicles with 12Vdc output, and sports a trim styling that allows it to fit easily into a briefcase or a glove compartment. The Transport 75 comes with a three-year warranty.

For external power supply safety, the 12Vdc-input to 16Vdc-input adapters will automatically shut down if the case temperature rises above 60°C for more than 30 minutes, and will restart when the case temperature falls below 45°C. To protect laptops, the adapters automatically shut down if their output is greater than 120 to 150 percent greater than the rated output voltage. For further protection, the adapters engage power with an input above 10.5Vdc, and shut down when the input falls below 9Vdc. To protect against input over-voltage the adapter shuts down when the input is greater than 16.3Vdc, ±300mV. It provides auto recovery when output drops below 15.8Vdc, ±300mV.

Ault offers seven models to meet the low-power requirements for a broad range of portable electronic devices and features output voltages of 15.7Vdc, 16.2Vdc, 18.2Vdc, 19.2Vdc, 20.2Vdc, 22.1Vdc and 24.1. The adapter measures 3.55in x 2.10in x 1.24in; weighs less than 8oz (227g); and carries safety agency approvals for CULus 1950, UL2089 and TUV EN60950. The new adapter is available at a suggested retail price of $95. OEM and distribution pricing available for volume purchases.
