Apple iPad, other tablets and larger devices can accept and, in some cases, require up to 2.1 amps of power to charge and operate. As a high power DCP, the TA102 can provide up to 2.1 amps of power to charge any USB device, including the higher demand products.
EQUIPMENT LOCATION The TA102 Dual USB Charging Port is designed for mounting flexibility, allowing for installation in the cockpit or in the cabin. It is designed for panel mounting and can be installed in a rectangular or circular rear mount configuration or, with an available installation kit, can be front mounted with a cosmetic cover plate.
Modification (MOD) 1 is identified on the nameplate by the marking/blacking out of MOD number 1 (i.e. 1 is not visible and 2-9 are visible see Figure 2.2 below for example). Mod 1 of the TA102 Dual USB Charging Port contains the following changes from MOD 0: Main PC Board Thickness Changed to 0.062” (was 0.031”)
This section contains interconnect diagrams, mounting dimensions and other information pertaining to the installation of the TA102 Dual USB Charging Port. After installation of cabling and before installation of the equipment, ensure that power and ground are applied to the proper pins specified in Section 3.3.2, Pin Assignment Information.
Once the cable harness is prepared, prior to connecting the TA102, activate the aircraft power bus and use a multimeter to verify that aircraft power and ground is supplied with appropriate voltage on the proper pins within the mating harness.

4.2.3 Low Input Voltage Shutdown If the input voltage applied to the TA102 drops below 10 VDC the unit will shut down until the applied voltage returns to a level within range. 4.2.4 Over-Temperature When the temperature of the TA102 becomes elevated, the unit communicates with the USB portable device to reduce the charge current output (1 amp limit).
SECTION 5 CONFORMANCE CONTINUED AIRWORTHINESS STATEMENT No periodic scheduled maintenance or calibration is necessary for continued airworthiness of the TA102 series Dual USB Charging Port. If the unit fails to perform to specifications, the unit must be removed and serviced by Mid-Continent Instruments and Avionics or their authorized designee.
