The True Blue Power TC120 is a direct replacement for Ameri-King converters AK-551-9, AK-551-9M, AK-551-9M1 and AK-551-9M2, following the FAA recommendation to remove Ameri-King products manufactured or shipped after Dec. 28, 2015, company officials noted.

Engineered to power cabin electronics, aircraft equipment and personal electronic devices (PEDs), the new True Blue Power converters offer flexible mounting options in the aircraft floor, wall or ceiling.

Both converters are FAA TSO certified and RTCA DO-160G qualified.
