Anker has launched several USB PD chargers. Not long ago, Anker released the PowerPort+ 5 USB-C charger. This charger features a 30W USB PD output capability and also supports the Apple 2.4A charging protocol, making it suitable for home or office use. Today, we will disassemble this charger to explore its internal structure and craftsmanship.
It uses Anker’s classic packaging box.
The detailed specifications of this charger are on the back of the packaging box.
This charger comes with only a power cord and no other accessories.
The front and back of the charger both feature a minimalist design.
The black brushed metal panel has an outstanding texture. The top features a blue PD output port, while below it are four Power IQ USB output ports.
It uses a universal AC input interface.
The charger’s rounded edges provide a comfortable tactile experience.
The top cover is secured to the housing using ultrasonic welding technology. To remove it, we can only use forceful methods.

These are the AC input protection circuit and the EIMI circuit.
The two main capacitors have the same specifications.
Two transformers
There are two blue anti-interference capacitors.
Four USB ports
Remove the pipe with thermal foils. The biggest thermal foils are two PWM MOS.

Two PWM MOS share the same bridge rectifier – HY GBJ410.
The Cellwise-semi CW3002F is a USB intelligent sensor IC.
The Weltrend WT6630p is a PD output controller.
NCE01H11 is a PD output synchronous rectifier MOSFET.
NCE40A12 is a USB output synchronous rectifier MOSFET.
The USB output protects two sides of the daughterboard.
LGT8P22A is a power management chip.

NCE30P15S is a USB Type-C output port protection MOSFET.
After using the Power-Z to start the fast charging mode, we found that the four USB ports only support the Apple BC1.2 protocol.
Use Power-Z to activate the PD mode on the USB Type-C port. The test results show the maximum current values supported at different voltages in PD mode. These results are the same as the specifications on the packaging box.
Using Power-Z to activate fast charging mode, we found that the USB Type-C port does not support mainstream fast charging protocols.
