Why a Recessed Mounted Wireless Charger Matters
A desk cluttered with cables and brick‑style chargers undermines the sleek aesthetic of today’s offices and home workstations. By embedding a 15W recessed mounted wireless charger directly into a tabletop or countertop, users can turn their desk into a wireless charger without sacrificing surface real‑estate. The charger from Campad Electronics is engineered for a 60 mm cut‑out, delivering fast Qi charging while staying invisible when not in use.
Design & Installation
- Form factor: 80 mm × 15 mm circular pad with a rubber sealing ring for a snug fit.
- Mounting style: Designed for a standard 60 mm hole, it works as a recessed bottom mount wireless charger or a desk recessed mounted wireless charger on any wood, glass or laminate surface.
- Materials: ABS + PC shell provides durability and a low‑profile finish that blends with black or white décor.
- Installation steps: 1) Cut a 60 mm diameter opening, 2) Insert the charger, 3) Connect the supplied USB‑C power cable to the included QC 3.0 wall adapter and 4) Snap the rubber ring into place. No additional brackets or screws are required.
Performance & Power Output
- Maximum output: 15W (9V × 1.12A) for fast Qi charging, with automatic down‑scaling to 5W for lower‑power devices.
- Efficiency: Up to 60% conversion rate, which is competitive for a wireless charger in a fixed installation.
- Input flexibility: Accepts 5V × 3A or 9V × 1.67A from the supplied Quick Charge 3.0 adapter, allowing the charger to operate from standard wall outlets or power‑over‑Ethernet (PoE) injectors with a compatible DC‑DC converter.
Compatibility & Safety
- Device support: Fully Qi‑compatible, covering Apple iPhone 8‑16 series, Samsung Galaxy S8‑S25 family, Google Nexus line, LG G3 and other Qi‑enabled smartphones. Backward‑compatible with 5W, 7.5W and 10 W chargers.
- Protection circuitry: Over‑voltage, over‑current, over‑temperature and short‑circuit safeguards keep both the charger and the device safe during prolonged use.
- LED indicator: Subtle status light signals active charging, standby or fault conditions without being distracting.
Included Accessories
- QC3.0 15W wall charger (compatible with Quick Charge‑enabled outlets)
- 1 m USB‑C power cable (rated for 9V/1.67A)
- Rubber sealing ring and mounting template
These components make the unit ready for desk embedded wireless charger deployment straight out of the box.
Real‑World Use Cases
- Conference tables: Install a recessed desk mounted wireless phone charger in the central hub of a meeting room table, giving participants a tidy way to keep phones powered during discussions.
- Home office desks: Make your desk a wireless charger by embedding the unit beneath a monitor stand, eliminating the need for a visible charging pad.
- Hospitality & coworking spaces: A recessed bottom mount wireless charger provides a premium, clutter‑free charging experience for guests and members.

Final Thoughts
For organizations and individuals seeking a desk embedded wireless charger that blends into the work surface, the 15W recessed mounted wireless charger from Campad Electronics strikes a solid balance between performance, safety and aesthetic integration.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does a recessed mounted wireless charger differ from a standard charging pad? A recessed mounted wireless charger sits below the tabletop surface, leaving only the charging zone exposed, whereas a standard pad sits on top of the desk and adds visual and physical clutter.
2. Can I install a recessed bottom mount wireless charger on a glass tabletop? Yes, provided the glass is at least 5 mm thick and a 60 mm opening can be safely cut. A non‑conductive rubber ring helps maintain a stable connection.
3. What is the maximum power I can get from a desk recessed mounted wireless charger? The Campad Electronics unit delivers up to 15W (9V × 1.12A) for compatible smartphones; it automatically steps down to 5W for lower‑power devices.
4. Will the charger work with my non‑Qi device? Only Qi‑compatible devices can be charged wirelessly. Non‑Qi phones will need a traditional cable connection.
5. Is the 15W recessed wireless charger safe for overnight charging? Yes. The charger includes over‑temperature, over‑voltage, over‑current and short‑circuit protection, allowing safe continuous operation.
6. How do I know if my desk is suitable for a recessed mounted wireless phone charger? The desk must accommodate a 60 mm diameter hole and have enough thickness (minimum 5 mm) to house the 15 mm deep pad without compromising structural integrity.
7. Can I replace the supplied QC3.0 wall adapter with a USB‑C PD charger? A USB‑C Power Delivery charger rated at 9V × 2A or higher can be used, but the charger will still limit output to its 15W maximum.
8. Does the LED indicator affect the charger’s efficiency? The low‑power LED consumes less than 0.1W and does not noticeably impact overall charging efficiency.
9. Is there a way to install multiple recessed wireless chargers on a large conference table? Yes. Multiple units can be spaced evenly, each with its own power source, to provide charging zones across the table.
10. How does a recessed desk mounted wireless charger improve ergonomics? By eliminating the need to place a charging pad on the work surface, it reduces reach and visual distraction, allowing a cleaner, more organized workspace.
11. Will the charger work with magnetic accessories like the iPhone MagSafe? The charger follows the Qi standard; MagSafe accessories will align and charge, though magnetic snap‑fit is not guaranteed.
12. What maintenance is required for a recessed wireless phone charger? Periodically wipe the surface with a dry microfiber cloth to remove dust. Ensure the rubber ring remains seated to maintain a secure fit.
Turn your table into a wireless charger and enjoy a tidy, efficient charging experience with Campad Electronics’ 15W recessed mounted wireless charger.
