§1What this business is

The unit makes the plastic charger body on an injection moulding machine, buys the circuit board (PCB), cable and brass pins from the market, and assembles, tests (aging, capacitor and cable testers) and prints the chargers. Chargers convert mains AC to 5 V DC through a transformer, rectifier, filter and regulator. Buyers are mobile shops, accessory wholesalers and online sellers.

Capacity: 400 pieces an hour on one 8-hour shift; year 1 at 40%.

§2Is it right for you?

Who it is for

  • Fits government electronics manufacturing push
  • Can add data cables and power adaptors

Drawbacks

  • BIS registration (CRS) is compulsory before sale
  • Cheap imports and grey-market products compete
  • Fast-changing standards (USB-C, fast charging)
