Is this Samsung USB c adapter fake?

  It’s definitely cheaply built. There is no RFI filtering and they used a resistor as a fuse. At least it appears to have a decent amount of separation between the high and low voltage sides though.

  Did it cost an unreasonably small amount?

  Why did you take it apart?

    30$, it’s dead that’s why I took it apart

      Can’t find a teardown of that 60W charger, but it looks nothing like some of the Samsung ones posted in the teardowns here: www.chargerlab.com

  Isn’t that a heat sync?

      Foam, or a heat conductive pad?

      Interesting.

  I’ve never seen a premium brand charger that wasn’t absolutely stuffed with components on one side. They’re always trying to shrink them, and all that real estate on the board is wasted.
