USB Type-C PD (Power Delivery) Trigger "Decoy" Module
This module is a Power Delivery (PD) sink controller designed to "trick" a PD-capable power bank or wall adapter into outputting a specific voltage. It eliminates the need for a standard USB communication handshake by using a dedicated chip to request the desired voltage (9V, 12V, 15V, or 20V) from the source. It is commonly used to power laptops, routers, and soldering irons from PD power banks.
Product Features
- Voltage Negotiation: Supports PD 2.0 and PD 3.0 protocols to request fixed voltages from compatible power supplies.
- Adjustable Settings: Voltage is set either via onboard solder pads or a physical button (depending on the specific hardware version).
- High Current Support: Rated for up to 5A, allowing for power delivery up to 100W (source dependent).
- LED Indicators: Onboard status LEDs confirm the successfully negotiated voltage level.
- Compact Size: Small enough to be heat-shrunk directly onto the end of a DC power cable.
Technical Specifications
- Input Connector: USB Type-C Female
- Output Voltage Options: 9V, 12V, 15V, 20V (Source must support the requested voltage)
- Maximum Current: 5A (Limited by the USB-C cable and power source)
- Maximum Power: 100W
- Operating Temperature: -25°C to +85°C
- Dimensions: Approx. 15mm x 30mm
Voltage Selection Guide
For pad-style modules, you must bridge the solder points (labeled A, B, or numbers) according to the table below to set the default output. If the requested voltage is not supported by your power bank, the module will typically default to the next lowest available voltage or 5V.
| Requested Voltage | Source Requirement | Common Application |
|---|---|---|
| 9V | PD Charger with 9V/3A support | Wireless routers, Network switches |
| 12V | PD Charger with 12V/3A support | LCD monitors, LED strips |
| 15V | PD Charger with 15V/3A support | Audio amplifiers, Nintendo Switch |
| 20V | PD Charger with 20V/5A support | Laptops, TS100/SH72 soldering irons |

Important Safety Note
Always verify the output voltage with a multimeter before connecting your device. If you set the module to 20V and connect a 9V device, you will permanently damage the electronics. Ensure your USB-C cable is rated for the current you intend to pull (e.g., use an E-Marker cable for currents above 3A).
