Introduction
Belkin has recently teamed up with Marvel to release a Spider-Man–themed 45W GaN charger. The design draws inspiration from the red and black elements of Spider-Man’s iconic suit, and the charger itself is compact with smooth contours, giving it a distinctive and recognizable appearance.
The charger is built on a GaN power architecture and is certified for PD 3.2. It supports output voltages from 5 to 20V, as well as 5–16V 3A PPS fast charging. This makes it particularly well-suited for iPhone and iPad, meeting the fast-charging requirements of Apple’s latest iPhone 17 series. Next, let’s take a closer look at its internal components and design.

Use it to charge the iPhone 17 Pro, the charging power is about 30.79W.
Teardown
Next, let's take it apart to see its internal components and structure.
Open the input-end casing, which is joined using ultrasonic welding.
The input section uses a contact-based electrical design, with the prongs secured by a black plastic plate and screws.
The interior of the charger is heavily filled with white adhesive, keeping the PCBA module securely in place.
The length of the PCBA module is about 34.66 mm (1.36 inches).
The width is about 30.22 mm (1.19 inches).
The thickness is about 27.51 mm (1.083 inches).
The gap between the capacitor and transformer is filled with gray thermal paste, and the USB-C socket is reinforced with a steel sleeve.
At the bottom, there is a plastic plate that isolates the primary and secondary circuits.
Remove the plastic plate. Thermal pads are seen at the bridge rectifier and synchronous rectifier.
Cleaning away the gray and white adhesive. This side of the PCB reveals an NTC thermistor, a common mode choke, high-voltage filter capacitors, and a Y capacitor.
On the other side, there is a transformer, a synchronous rectifier controller, and a solid capacitor for output filtering.
On the back side, there are an SMD fuse, a bridge rectifier, a primary controller, a primary MOSFET, an optocoupler, a synchronous rectifier, and a protocol chip.
The SMD fuse is rated for 3.15A.
The NTC thermistor is used to suppress inrush current during power-on.
The common mode choke is used to filter out EMI interference.
The bridge rectifier is from DIODES, model MB30TM.
The high-voltage electrolytic capacitor is from AiSHi.
It is rated at 400V, 27μF.
The other one is also from AiSHi.
It is rated at 400V, 39μF.
The I-shaped inductor is covered with heat-shrink tubing for insulation and protection.
The primary controller chip is marked RAAL03 and packaged in a SOT-23-6.
The primary MOSFET is from Allpower, model APNE70R200K. It is a 700V enhancement-mode GaN FET with a 10A current rating and normally-off characteristics. Its typical on-resistance is below 200mΩ (at VGS = 6V), which helps significantly reduce conduction losses. This MOSFET is suitable for applications such as AC-DC converters, DC-DC converters, Totem-pole PFC circuits, and high-density power modules.
The capacitor supplying power to the primary controller chip is from AiSHi, rated at 100V, 4.7μF.

The optocoupler is from Everlight, model EL 3H7, and is used for output voltage feedback.
The blue Y capacitor is from STE.
The synchronous rectifier controller is marked LAAM04 and comes in a SOT-23-6 package.
The synchronous rectifier is also from Allpower, model APG077N01G. It is an NMOS with a voltage rating of 100V and an on-resistance of 6.2mΩ, packaged in PDFN 5×6.
The solid capacitor for output filtering is from BERYL, rated at 25V, 680μF.
The protocol chip is from Injoinic, model IP2723T. This chip is certified by the USB-IF for PD 3.0 and PPS, TID: 3135, and integrates multiple protocols for USB output ports. It supports fast-charging protocols including USB Type-C DFP, PD 2.0/3.0, PPS, HVDCP QC4, QC4+, QC3.0/2.0, FCP, SCP, AFC, MTK PE+ 2.0/1.1, Apple 2.4A, BC1.2, and Samsung 2.0A. It provides a complete Type-C solution for one-way output applications such as adapters and car chargers. The IP2723T features high integration and rich functionality, requiring minimal external components, effectively reducing overall solution size and lowering BOM cost.
Here is the information about Injoinic IP2723T.
The output VBUS MOSFET is from Allpower, model AP30H80Q. It is an NMOS with a voltage rating of 30V and an on-resistance of 4.1mΩ, packaged in PDFN 3×3.
