Interchangeable Blades / Q-Blades / R-Blades
Interchangeable input plugs for wall plug in AC DC Adapters, also known as blades or multiplugs, provide OEMs a large advantage in their power architecture with a large efficiency in logistics and system packaging.
Aside from the simplicity in the wall plug in adapter minimizing wires and cables, this solution provides the OEM a single wall plug in AC DC power supply, with single regulatory testing and singular system level EMC design while providing a global solution for system marketing and export. This provides an option for the OEM to have a single SKU for the wall plug in ac dc power supply adapter.
GlobTek's Q series of wall plug in AC DC adapters provides the company's largest offering of interchangeable blades options for wall plug in adapters with 14 options. In addition, they match wall plug in power supplies from 6-40W, with Information and Communication Technology (ICT) (IEC62368-1), Information Technology Equipment (IEC60950-1), Medical (60601-1), UL 1310, and Household Use (IEC60335-1). GlobTek AC DC wall plug in adapters typically provide North American (UL, ETL), European (CE), Russian (EAC), Ukraine, Japan (PSE), China (CCC), and Australian/New Zealand (RCM) Certifications as standard providing customers instant access to global markets without upfront costs.
European CEE 7/16 configuration: Europlug 2 PIN
The prongs of the Europlug are 19 mm long. They consist of a 9 mm long conductive tip of 4 mm diameter with a rounded ending, followed by a 10 mm long flexible insulated shaft of not more than 3.8 mm diameter. The two prongs are not exactly parallel and converge slightly; their centres are 19 mm apart at the tip and 18.6 mm apart at the base. The elasticity of the converging prongs provides sufficient contact force for the Europlug's current rating with a variety of socket-hole arrangements. The entire plug is 35.3 mm wide and 13.7 mm high, and must not exceed these dimensions within 18 mm behind its front plane (this allows for the recesses on many European socket types). The left and right side of the plug are formed by surfaces that are at 45° relative to the horizontal plan.
