SECTION 1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

1.1 INTRODUCTION

The TA202 Series High Power USB Charging Port is a certified accessory that converts 10 to 32 volts of
DC electrical input from the aircraft to standard 5 volt power for any electronic product that charges using
a USB connector. The TA202 provides one or two Universal Serial Bus-A or C (USB-A or USB-C) ports
and can be rear mounted or front mounted in a variety of locations throughout the aircraft. The new
“Type-C” USB port design is a smaller port that accommodates the latest consumer electronic devices on
the market. Among other features, the Type-C connector accepts reversible cable plugging with no ‘up’ or
‘down’ requirement for cable orientation. The unit is certified to FAA TSO C71 and qualified to multiple
RTCA DO-160 requirements, providing confidence and allowing installation in the cockpit or cabin.

This High Power USB Charging Port is designed as a DCP (Dedicated Charging Port) to industry­standard protocol per the USB Battery Charging 1.2 Compliance Plan. It also complies with the higher
power requirements of USB Power Delivery 2.0. Newer electronics, such as the Apple iPad
and larger devices can accept or may require 2.1 amps or more to charge and operate. As a high power
DCP, the TA202 can provide up to 3.0 amps of power to charge USB devices, including the higher
demand products. Most dual USB chargers typically provide 1.0 amp on one port and 2.1 amps on the
second port, but the TA202 can provide 3.0 amps to both ports simultaneously (for dual port units). The
unit has built-in protections for short circuit, over-current, and low voltage conditions. It is designed to
protect against reverse polarity installation and has temperature monitoring and shutdown capability,
allowing the unit to handle unforeseen conditions safely.

Small, compact and powerful, with plenty of installation flexibility, the TA202 is an ideal choice as a highly
useful and effective addition to any aircraft.
