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 industry-

standard 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

, other tablets

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.

SECTION 2 PRE-INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

2.1 COOLING

No external cooling is required. The unit will become warm when in use. This is normal and within

operational parameters. No special mounting considerations are required; however, mounting to a metal

surface can help dissipate any heat generated and extend the life of the product.

2.2 EQUIPMENT LOCATION

The TA202 High Power USB Charging Port is designed for mounting flexibility, allowing for installation in

the cockpit or in the cabin. It is designed for panel mounting and can be installed in a rectangular

configuration or, with an available installation kit, can be front mounted with a cosmetic cover plate. An

instrument mounting adapter bracket is also available to easily mount the unit in a standard 2-inch round

instrument opening that may already exist in the cockpit panel. There are two versions to choose from

which allow the input connector to be located either on the rear of the unit or from the bottom.

The unit can be mounted in any orientation. Clearance should be provided for the mating connector which

may require an additional inch beyond the rear of the unit.

2.3 ROUTING OF CABLES

Avoid sharp bends in cabling and routing near aircraft control cables. Avoid close proximity and contact

with aircraft structures, avionics equipment or other obstructions that could chafe wires during flight and

cause undesirable effects.

2.4 LIMITATIONS

Environmental qualifications were verified per RTCA DO-160, Revision G in lieu of those identified within

the minimum performance standards (MPS) of the TSO.

The conditions and tests for TSO approval of this article are minimum performance standards. Those

installing this article, on or in a specific type or class of aircraft, must determine that the aircraft installation

conditions are within the TSO standards, specification of the article and deviations as listed above. TSO

articles must have separate approval for installation in an aircraft. The article may be installed only

according to 14 CFR part 43 or the applicable airworthiness requirements.

The USB Type-C interface is an exciting new connector for electronic devices. Beyond the physical

format of the Type-C connector, it also allows for a variety of interface options when communicating with

compatible devices. This device-to-charger communication is defined within the USB 3.1 Specification

and Power Delivery 2.0 standards. However, manufacturers of consumer electronic devices and/or cables

may choose to implement proprietary versions or modifications of the USB standards to operate

specifically with their own charging equipment. The TA202 has been tested with and supports a wide

variety of devices now emerging on the open market. However, compatibility with all devices may not be

guaranteed. True Blue Power continues to be proactive in evaluating new devices and strives to

continually improve the product as needed to serve the vast majority of USB Type-C electronic products.
