Teardown Generic, likely not legit Samsung USB charger
« on: August 21, 2016, 11:36:36 pm »
Got two of these, I believe around $1.70 CAD ea. Were listed as generic non branded. What you all think? Seperation seems better than some. I do not think it's samsung.

Last image shows a sketchy PCB USB ground mount connection one of them had.

Better than some you say? It is almost as bad as you can get. About 1 mm by looks of it. Of course it is fake, don't use it if you don't want to be electrocuted or burn down the house.

Thats pretty bad but I've seen worse, with power supply you (normally) get what you pay for.

Yep wraper, you are spot on, just about 1mm.  :-+

Yeah, gotta love the touch as the squiggly fuse.

Sorry, should have said compared to some others with even less or capacitive droppers. Yeah. wasn't expecting much, curiosity.  :)
