Power Adapter USB-C 5V 3A 15W, electro base PS5V3A/USB-C

The electro base Power Adapter USB-C 5V 3A 15W (PS5V3A/USB-C) is an AC mains charger with a single USB-C output that delivers up to 5 volts at 3 amps (15 watts). It is designed for charging smartphones, tablets, wireless accessories and other small USB‑C powered devices. The adapter features compact dimensions and integrated voltage regulation to provide consistent charging current for everyday use at home, in the office or while traveling.

Advantages

This USB-C power adapter provides a steady 5V/3A output for compatible devices, reducing charge time compared with lower-current chargers. Its compact form factor makes it easy to carry and store, and the built-in voltage regulation helps protect connected devices from short-term mains fluctuations. The single-output design simplifies connection and is compatible with standard USB-C charging cables.

Suitable for

• Charging smartphones that accept 5V USB‑C input
• Powering small tablets and e‑readers with low-power USB‑C charging
• Charging wireless accessories such as earphones, smartwatches and portable speakers
• Supplying power to USB‑C accessories and peripherals (power banks, dongles)

When it may not be suitable

This adapter is not suitable for devices that require higher voltages or power delivery profiles beyond 5V/3A, such as laptops or fast-charging protocols that rely on variable voltage (e.g., 9V, 12V or higher). Devices that require specific proprietary fast-charge signalling or higher wattage will charge slowly or may not use their maximum charging capabilities when connected to this adapter.

Key specifications

• Output voltage: 5 V DC
• Maximum output current: 3 A
• Maximum output power: 15 W
• Output connector: USB-C
• Input: AC mains (domestic voltage range)
• Form factor: compact wall adapter
• Built-in voltage regulation for stable output

How to use

Plug the adapter into an appropriate mains socket, connect a compatible USB‑C cable to the adapter and then to the device’s USB‑C port. Ensure the device supports 5V charging and that the cable used is rated for the required current. Charging begins automatically when the device is connected. Unplug the adapter from the mains when not in use to save energy and reduce wear.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify your device accepts 5V/3A (15W) USB‑C charging to ensure compatibility
• Check whether your device requires a higher-voltage fast-charge protocol before choosing this adapter
• Use a quality USB‑C cable rated for 3 A to achieve the adapter’s full output
• Confirm mains plug type and local voltage compatibility for your region

Usage recommendations

For consistent results, pair the adapter with a well‑rated USB‑C cable and avoid heavy loads above the specified 3 A. Keep the adapter in a ventilated area during prolonged charging and disconnect it from the mains if the adapter becomes unusually hot or if you observe abnormal behaviour from the connected device.
