| AC configuration |
EU version with a fixed, non-interchangeable plug and non-folding pins |
| Safety class |
Class II; no earth pin or FG. |
| Dimensions / case |
48 × 28 × 55 mm (catalogue L × W × H); mechanical drawing tolerance ±1 mm; case NGE18. |

| Reference mass |
86 g per main body, explicitly listed in the catalogue packing table; not a measured shipping weight. |
The dimensions describe the adapter body. The fitted AC plug and, on cable versions, the DC lead project beyond the body outline shown in the mechanical drawing.
The AC inlet is built into this E version. The interchangeable AC PLUG-EU4/US4/UK4/AU4/CN4/KR4/IN4 and MIX4/MIX5 sets apply to the I version, not to this fixed-inlet model.
DC Connection
| Supplied DC output |
USB Type-A socket; 5 V version only. |
| USB power contacts |
Using the numbering and orientation shown in the NGE12 catalogue mechanical drawing: pin 1 +V; pin 4 -V. |
| Cable configuration |
The catalogue shows the socket version without the fixed P1J DC cable. |
Use the matching USB Type-A power connection. The cable-plug selection table describes alternative cable terminations and quick-adapter selections; it does not make a P1J cable or a barrel-to-USB accessory part of this USB order.
Safety and Medical Integration
| Insulation / intended medical use |
2 MOPP; catalogue BF-rated application suitability. The adapter rating does not certify a complete medical device or patient-connected system. |
| Input/output withstand |
4000 VAC. |
| Input/output insulation resistance |
100 MΩ at 500 VDC, 25°C and 70% RH. |
| AC-version certificate grid |
CB, DEKRA, EAC, CE. Apply the listed regional scope to the supplied E version. |
The CB safety table lists IEC62368-1, IEC60601-1 and IEC60601-1-11, IEC61558-1 and IEC61558-2-16, and IEC60335-1; the applicable configuration and regional certificate scope must be retained.
For the DEKRA scope shown for this AC version, the table lists BS EN/EN62368-1, BS EN/EN60601-1 and -1-11, BS EN/EN61558-1 and -2-16, and BS EN/EN60335-1.
The E-type regional grid includes EAC TP TC004 and CE; certificates shown only in the I or U grid are not transferred to this E version.
This NGE12 5 V USB model is explicitly excluded from the CB, UL and DEKRA 60601-1-11 entries. Do not select it on the assumption that those home-healthcare approvals apply.
Final equipment must be evaluated for its own safety and EMC requirements; adapter certificates and BF suitability do not provide whole-system approval.

These are catalogue cable-termination options. Factory replacement of the standard DC plug is subject to a minimum order quantity; the expressly available quick-adapter accessories are sold separately without a minimum order quantity. Match the interface to the supplied output configuration.
Quick-adapter limits are 7.5 A for the listed tuning-fork, center-pin and R6B/R7B types, and 5 A for P3A/P3B/P3C. They do not increase this adapter’s output rating. Barrel and floating-lock types have no quick-adapter accessory listed.
Stripped and tinned leads can be requested: lead 1 (ribbed) +Vo, lead 2 (lettered) -Vo. Standard lengths shown are L = 25 mm and L1 = 10 mm; other lengths are by request. This option has no listed quick adapter.
Select matching dimensions, polarity and the lowest applicable current rating across the power supply, connector and load. Optional plugs and quick adapters are not extra items included with the stated standard order number.
