As a frequent traveler, I want all my gadgets and devices to have the same system. Even though not all devices are as slim as credit cards, I still like the minimalistic and elegant dimension. There are so many reasons and advantages for adopting the credit card dimension; handy, stackable, compact...the list goes on. That's why we develop products in this dimension.
Existing Solution
Most adapters you find in the market are way too bulky for travelers. Not only are they heavy to carry around but they occupy too much space in your luggage as well. The bulky size makes you rather just leave them at home.
Large Profile
About Type C PD Ultra Low Profile Most adapters are produced based on the plug converter. Therefore, they would generally be much thicker than the original socket. When the adapter is plugged into the wall socket, the bulky size would cause it to slant and even drop to the ground due to the weight. There're some physical limits for adapter designing. Take size as an example, a qualified adapter should be compatible with the lengths of all types of plug. Since the UK plug has the longest pin (21.4mm) among all types of plug, the maximum thickness of a universal adapter should be 21.4mm.
Foldable Plug To achieve the ultra slim size, a foldable plug is the best solution. When it comes to foldable plug, it’s relatively common for the US plug but not the UK/EU/AU plug. Hence, our goal is to fit all types of plugs in the limited space neatly without adding on to the thickness.
Spare Fuse
Every CARD Adapter is designed with 6.3mA fuse to protect user under a safe current surrounding. Once it’s overloading or goes under the prompt massive current, the fuse would be broken to protect your own safety. We also designed another spare fuse on the other side of the lid. You can change the fuse if the fuse is broken on the trip.
Product Series
Before CARD Adapter 4 with Type-C was released, we had successfully introduced New-CA1/New-CA2/CA4. They are all based on the same design philosophy with a slim profileand foldable plug. The only differences are the current carrying capacity and the number of USB ports.
