Small Meets Power - Belkin Introduces Its Smallest 60W GaN Charging Solution

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Belkin, the connected things division within the Belkin International and Foxconn Interconnect Technology (FIT) (HK:6088) entity, today announces the smallest GaN 60W solution on the market*, the BOOST CHARGE(TM) PRO USB-C PD GaN Wall Charger 60W.

Adding to Belkin's new lineup of gallium nitride (GaN) wall chargers, the BOOST CHARGE(TM) PRO 60W charger is designed to be 53 percent smaller** than standard 60W laptop chargers and can efficiently charge a wide range of devices, including the MacBook Pro and newest iPhone 12 models. The BOOST CHARGE(TM) PRO 60W charger features an innovative GaNFast chipset that creates an exceptionally compact charging solution to bring the fast charging consumers are now used to, but with significantly reduced size when compared with other chargers on the market.

        allowing components inside to be closer together, enabling an
        ultra-compact build

        connected devices safe while providing welcome peace of mind
    --  USB-C Power Delivery certification enables reliable fast charging for
        USB-C PD enabled devices such as the Google Pixel 5, iPad Pro or Macbook
        Pro
