The SDI200G-U and SDI200G-UD comply with UL/EN/IEC 62368-1 and 60950-1 requirements. The adapters also meet the current average efficiency and no-load power specifications mandated by the US Department of Energy (DoE) under the Level VI standard and the European Union's (EU) CoC Tier 2 directive for universal input voltage ranges. Containing up to a 250 percent increase in power density, according to the company, no-load power consumption as low as 210 mW, and universal input voltage ranges of 90 ~ 264 Vac.

The SDI200G-U series offers a three prong (C14) inlet, while the SDI200G-UD features a two prong (C8) inlet. Measuring 5.91 x 2.13 x 1.3 in. (150 x 54 x 33 mm.), the compact new models are 32% smaller than the non GaN models.
