IKEA SMÅHAGEL USB charger teardown (shorter version)

For those who just want to know the bare facts about this charger, here's a super-short 2 minute version.

If you want to know more the full version of the video has schematics, circuit description and data on specific components.

Long story short, it looks a well designed and safe charger. Just as we'd expect from IKEA.
It's also VERY affordable.

As a technical channel, I think that you should get an advertising multiplier. Not practical, I know, but all the time and effort that you put in to this channel, you deserve it.

This is like having a trailer for a movie. I'll save the longer version to enjoy with a big coffee tomorrow.

I can tell even from this short video that you like the built on this charger. So I'm getting one!

interesting thing, got to say I enjoyed the longer video, but I watched both.

Thank you for doing two different thumbnails I thought it was just the same video twice I almost deleted one of them

In Finland we call the letter Å the "Swedish O". Swedish alphabet has both O and Å, but while the regular O's pronunciation will vary, the Å is always pronounced the same way. It's pronounced like the O in e.g. "short" and "core".
Ikea does some pretty good and affordable electronics. I have a bunch of Philips Hue LED bulbs in my apartment but they've become ridiculously expensive. So when I installed a new light fixture in my kitchen, I bought one of Ikea's Trådfri E27 RGB LED bulbs instead. After some head scratching I got it paired to the Hue Bridge and the bulb has been working without any issues, except for any color including green. The green LED in at least my bulb is more like a dirty yellow colour. Luckily I mostly use white and red and blue and mixtures of those colours in my home lighting.

Shorter version is a million times better than those annoying youtube shorts

A nice advertisement for the main video!

Små is small. Hagel is hail.
Strange name, even for IKEA!
SMO(r)-hah-gell

Småhagel = small hail. Leaves me wondering about the name.

Apple can still learn a lot from Ikea, and they haven't even been in the tech industry for too long..
