★☆☆☆☆
The Anker 30W PIQ 3.0 (A2614) is very bad and danger charger.
Soldering is of very poor quality. A lot of solder snot. Unsoldered parts. Not washed flux. There is no short-circuited coil of the inductor. There is no X capacitor. There is no input overvoltage protection. No shielding at all. A lot of EMI. Poor repairable.
Supplemented....
Dear Anker,
I'm sorry, machine translation is incorrect (I'm speaking rus/ukr).
The main problem is NOT the X-capacitor. I know that this has nothing to do with protection.
I know about embedded protection systems. I have all the technical documentation for this charger.
The problems are another:
No full shielding.
No input NTC resistor.
No varistor or/and TVS at the input.
No shielding are main transformer.
A synphase choke is not toroid.
Unwashed flux.
Some parts soldered very badly.
In some places there are snot from the solder (it is dangerous).
No protection diodes at the output USB-C data line.
And more...
I really hope that you are make a better quality charger in the future.
P.S.
I also hope that you will make a charger using a planar transformer, instead of the usual one in the future.
I would like to buy a tiny charger of the best quality, like a Navitas 65W demo in attachment.
