Budi AC361 PD 20W Adapter is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 1,000, pairing one USB-C port with Power Delivery 3.0 and Quick Charge 3.0 support in a single compact block. The Budi AC361 outputs 5V at 3A, 9V at 2.22A, or 12V at 1.67A, reaching 20W on handsets that accept it. Its three-pin plug fits Kenyan wall sockets directly, and the 100-240V input handles the 240V mains supplied by Kenya Power without a converter. Mascom International stocks the Budi AC361 at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. This listing covers the adapter alone, sold without a cable.
The Budi AC361 suits the daily reality of Kenyan phone owners who misplaced a charger, bought a handset that shipped without one, or want a second block that stays permanently at the office. Samsung and Apple both stopped putting adapters in their retail boxes, so buyers now source their own. University students at Kenyatta University and Strathmore, boda riders tracking trips between fares, sales agents working the Westlands to Industrial Area run, and shopkeepers running Lipa na M-Pesa tills all need a wall charger that refills a phone over a lunch break instead of a whole afternoon.
Where most Nairobi electronics counters sell unbranded 20W blocks with no model number and no return path, Mascom International stocks the Budi AC361 as a named, traceable unit backed by a 6-month warranty. Buyers throughout Kenya tell us the cheapest street chargers fail inside a few weeks and drag battery health down with them. The Budi AC361 carries over-voltage, over-current and short-circuit protection, and its fixed three-pin body has no folding hinge to work loose. Visit our Kimathi Street counter to test the Budi AC361 against your own phone, or order it for pay-on-arrival delivery countrywide.
Common Questions About the Budi AC361 PD 20W Adapter
What devices can the Budi AC361 PD 20W Adapter charge?
Any phone, tablet, or accessory that charges over USB-C, plus iPhones when paired with a USB-C to Lightning cable. That covers iPhone 12 through the current range, Samsung Galaxy A and S models, Xiaomi, Redmi, Tecno, Infinix, itel and Oppo handsets, iPads, Galaxy Tabs, wireless earbuds, smartwatch pucks, and portable power banks. The Budi AC361 negotiates the correct voltage with each device automatically, so a 5W earbud case draws only what it needs.
How fast does the Budi AC361 charge an iPhone or a Samsung Galaxy?
At 20W, most iPhones reach roughly 50 percent charge in about 30 minutes, compared with 30 percent or less on an old 5W cube. Samsung Galaxy A-series phones with 25W charging still accept the full 20W and gain a similar half-charge in that window. Actual speed depends on your cable, battery size, and how warm the phone is. Devices capped below 20W simply charge at their own rated speed.
Does the Budi AC361 come with a USB-C cable?
No. This unit is sold as the adapter only at KSh 1,000, which is why it costs less than bundled charger kits. Most buyers already own a working USB-C cable from a previous phone. If you need one, Mascom International stocks USB-C to USB-C and USB-C to Lightning cables separately, and our Kimathi Street counter will test your existing cable against the Budi AC361 before you leave the shop.
Will the Budi AC361 fit Kenyan wall sockets?
Yes. The unit ships in the three-pin configuration used across Kenya, so it goes straight into any standard household or office socket without a travel adapter. The prongs are fixed rather than folding, which removes the loose-hinge problem common on pocket chargers. Its 100-240V input range also means the Budi AC361 works unchanged in Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, the UK and the Gulf states, useful if you travel for work.
Is 20W enough to charge an iPad or a tablet?
Yes, for most tablets. Apple ships a 20W adapter with several iPad models, so the Budi AC361 matches the factory charging speed on those units. Samsung Galaxy Tab A and Tab S FE tablets charge at 15W to 25W and draw close to their full rate. Larger iPad Pro and Tab S Ultra models accept more than 20W, so they will charge correctly but slower than with their bundled adapter.
Is the Budi AC361 safe with Kenya's fluctuating mains power?
The Budi AC361 includes over-voltage, over-current, over-temperature and short-circuit protection, which cuts output if the supply spikes or the cable shorts. Kenya Power's 240V supply sits inside the 100-240V input range with headroom on both sides. For homes and shops in areas with frequent surges, we still suggest plugging any charger through a surge-protected extension. Our Nairobi CBD desk stocks surge strips and will show you a suitable one.
Why choose the Budi AC361 over a generic KSh 300 charger?
Unbranded counter chargers rarely deliver their printed wattage and often skip protection circuitry entirely, which is how phone batteries and charging ports get damaged. The Budi AC361 is a catalogued model from an established accessory brand with published output figures you can check. It carries a 6-month Mascom International warranty, so a failed unit is replaced rather than written off. Over two years, one KSh 1,000 charger costs less than four cheap replacements.
Can the Budi AC361 charge a laptop?
Only lightweight USB-C laptops, and slowly. Machines like the MacBook Air, Dell XPS 13 and Lenovo ThinkPad X13 will accept 20W and hold their charge during light work, but they will not gain much while running. Most Windows ultrabooks want 45W to 65W. For laptop charging, ask our team about 65W and 100W GaN adapters instead. The Budi AC361 is built around phones, tablets, and accessories.
Is the Budi AC361 worth KSh 1,000 in Kenya's market?
For a branded 20W Power Delivery unit with a warranty and a physical shop behind it, yes. Nairobi pricing for genuine 20W adapters from phone brands runs KSh 2,500 to KSh 4,500. Nameless market blocks sit near KSh 300 but carry no coverage and inconsistent output. The Budi AC361 lands between the two, giving buyers real 20W charging and a replacement path at accessory money.
Technical Specifications
Charging Output and Power Delivery Standards
- Rated output reaches 20W, enough for half a phone charge in roughly 30 minutes on supported handsets.
- Voltage steps cover 5V at 3A, 9V at 2.22A, and 12V at 1.67A automatically.
- USB Power Delivery 3.0 support lets modern phones and tablets request their own correct charging profile.
- Quick Charge 3.0 compatibility covers older Xiaomi, Samsung and Qualcomm-based handsets that predate USB-C Power Delivery.
- Automatic handshaking means low-draw items such as earbud cases and smartwatch pucks receive only what they need.
- Output is delivered through one USB-C port, keeping the body small enough for shared wall sockets.
Device Compatibility Across Phones and Tablets
- Works with iPhone 12 and newer using a USB-C to Lightning or USB-C to USB-C cable.
- Charges Samsung Galaxy A, M and S handsets at their rated speed up to the 20W ceiling.
- Suits Tecno, Infinix, itel, Xiaomi, Redmi, Oppo and Vivo phones sold widely across Kenyan retail.
- iPad, Galaxy Tab A and Tab S FE tablets charge at or near their factory speed.
- Powers USB-C accessories including earbuds, fitness bands, Bluetooth speakers, e-readers and portable power banks.
- Lightweight USB-C laptops accept a trickle charge, though machines needing 45W or more charge slowly.
Electrical Input and Kenyan Mains Handling
- Input range spans 100-240V at 50/60Hz, covering Kenya Power's 240V domestic and commercial supply.
- Input current is rated at 0.6A, a light load on household circuits and office extension strips.
- Wide-range input allows the same unit to work in Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and the UK.
- Three-pin fixed plug seats firmly in Kenyan sockets without an adapter, travel converter or loose extension fitting.
- Fixed prongs remove the hinge wear that causes intermittent contact on folding travel chargers over time.
Safety Protection and Circuit Design
- Over-voltage protection cuts output when incoming mains rises above the safe working window for connected devices.
- Over-current protection limits draw if a faulty cable or device attempts to pull excessive amperage.
- Short-circuit protection shuts the port down instantly when a damaged cable bridges the contacts.
- Over-temperature handling throttles output as the casing warms, which matters in hot Mombasa and Kisumu conditions.
- Protection circuitry is the component most often missing from unbranded market chargers sold at street pricing.
Build Quality and Daily Durability
- Moulded flame-retardant plastic casing resists heat build-up during long overnight charging sessions on a bedside socket.
- White finish matches Apple, Samsung and Xiaomi wall adapters already common in Kenyan homes and offices.
- Single-piece body has no moving parts, so nothing loosens after months in a backpack.
- USB-C port uses a reinforced seating that tolerates repeated cable insertion across daily home and office use.
- Weight and footprint stay low enough to leave neighbouring sockets on a four-way extension usable.
Portability and Everyday Handling
- Compact block fits a trouser pocket, laptop sleeve pouch or matatu-commute backpack without adding noticeable bulk.
- Small footprint suits shared office extensions, hotel bedside sockets and cyber cafe counters across Nairobi CBD.
- Ideal as a second charger kept permanently at a desk, leaving the original at home.
- Handles well for field staff moving between Nakuru, Eldoret and Kisumu sites who charge in guesthouses.
- Sold as an adapter only, so buyers pair it with whichever cable their phone already uses.
