IEC60335
IEC62368
Approved for use in EURO, USA, AUSTRALIA and has a safety class II, EMC EN55024 & EN55032.
The FOX NEO can satisfy requirements for medical
and non-medical
needs and delivers an LED light to all Power Supply Units regardless of the application because historically FRIWO installed LED lights on just the medical approved Power Supply Unit. This means that the user can easily identify if the Power Supply Unit is switched on or off allowing the user to decide if they want to save electricity consumption and more importantly to the consumer, being able to identify that the Power Supply Unit is actually switched on and the device is in charge mode.
On another note, many companies send out engineers to inspect devices when a fault is registered and companies can waste many man hours only to discover something basic like a faulty charger so the lit LED could be incorporated into a triage type question and a basic conversation with the end user will be able to determine if the charger or socket is at fault rather than the device itself.
In terms of reliability, the FOX NEO boasts a meantime between failure of 200,000 hours and offers a very low standby electricity loss. In addition, the lowest leakage currents, the MOPP protection class and a long service life enable use in the most demanding environments.
The FOX NEO is very flexible because it can be tailored to most OEM requirements – The lead type, lead length and connector jacks can all be tailored to your needs and the FOX NEO has interchangeable plugs for the United Kingdom, Australia, Europe, Korea, USA, Argentina, Brazil, China and Japan.
To summarise, it is important to select a Power Supply Unit that is reliable and delivers the correct amount of power to the device in a safe manner. When sourcing a Power Supply Unit check all approvals, perform due diligence on the supplier and most importantly consider the Power Supply Unit as an integral piece of the jigsaw. The FOX NEO is reliable and is every much a 'best of breed' Power Supply Unit.

Switchmode Power Supplies vs Linear Power Supplies
The vast majority of low voltage external power supplies sold globally these days are switching (switchmode) units, as opposed to the original Linear technology, which is only considered appropriate for certain niche markets due to it’s inability to meet required efficiency standards.
In this article we will explore just some of the technical aspects & features and benefits of Switchmode topology vs Linear.
The micro USB connector has been the most common connector for plug top devices for the last few years, but as with everything the times are changing. This is where the Type-C USB has started to step in, with more and more pieces of tech coming with a Type-C charger rather than the old favourite. So the question is why? If the old micro USB isn’t broken then why ‘fix’ it?
