There's not too much to say about these, which is a good thing! I find if I start out with a sudden 5A demand, something seems to trip the module off (this may also be on the USB supply's side), but if you ramp up, it seems to be okay with that. May or may not need a buffer to assist with this depending on what you're doing, but I haven't run into problems with this in real-world use, only in bench-testing worst-case scenarios. I used this to replace a 12V motorcycle battery used as an aux battery for an ebike's turn signals; now can use a tiny USB PD battery; nice!Be sure to use cables and power sources capable of matching what you want out of the trigger. You'll probably want to print out the DIP switch configs on the Amazon page given this table isn't included with the trigger modules.

This set of USB C PD trigger modules work as expected. Able to use these to power some 12V fans and LED lights using compatible USB C adapters. Relatively simple to setup and connect using the terminals, can de-solder the terminals and hardwire to the PCB if needed.

USB-PD allows you to set a precise output voltage. Together with circuitry in a PD capable device, this can give you all sorts of useful voltages.

This product is a 6-pack USB-C PD trigger(or sometimes also called "Decoy") module. One important pre-requisite, criteria or condition is that, a compatible USB-C adapter is needed to be "triggered" to get the desired output voltage. For example, a factory "come-with" USB-C adapter with a famous tablet can only output up to 12V with proper setting, and unable to get 20V or 15V out of it no matter how you set the dip switches. While most, if not all, laptop USB-C adapters or aftermarket USB-C charger would be able to get one or more output voltages up to 20V.This module CAN actually output 5, 9, 12, 15 and 20V with proper dip switch settings.Note that there is NO paper documentation come with.The documentation online with the product description indeed is working, but confuses to most of our common knowledge/understanding - for example, the dip DOWN is 1 and UP is 0, most of us would take UP is 1 and DOWN is 0.Anyway, flip the dip switch according to the table, I get the 5 different output voltages for my DIY projects.Good working USB-C PD trigger or decoy module for DIY projects, but it is much better to include paper documentation and even pictures of the dip switches for the corresponding output voltages, exactly like my attached pictures taken.

These are the kind of commodity widget I have been waiting for since I first read the USB-C PD spec - adjustable power from USB-C in some seriously useful currents.If these aren't the start of every DIY hardware device, are you even a tinkerer? These speak PD/QC triggers, so you can get some beefy power out of the right supply. Gone are the days of paltry 500mA/5V from USB - 100W depending on supply - that's CRAZY. And these couldn't be simpler. 2 terminals + USB-C and you can dial the voltage you want right from the DIP switches.

This is a device I've wanted for a long time. I like to build electronics, this makes USB C power supplies universal for most projects. It would be great if it came with a sheet detailing the DIP switch positions, but its not rocket science to figure out. Even if you don't build stuff its a great way to replace multiple wall plugs with a single multi port charger and a few cables. If you are a hobbyist like me just buy them, you'll find uses....

The PD triggering seems to work well with the handful of devices I tried. It could retrigger the supplies, and switch voltages without being unplugged.When it is configured for an unsupported voltage, it just seems to select the next highest available voltage.The red LED on the bottom gets brighter with higher voltage.The instruction photos on amazon are correct, but the DIP switch is positioned so that the ON side is 0 instead of 1.The screw clamp terminals aren't great. Mine came really cinched down, and they are not rising clamp style. Mine we're also blue instead of the photo's green.

The first I tested did not work so I thought this was going to be an easy review!Alas, the other 5 worked perfectly!I tested at 3A on all voltages (the limit of my PD supply) and at 20V/5A from a PD keyed laptop charger I have. I ran the 100-Watt test for 5 minutes and the hottest any part of the board got was 78 degrees F. That's how it should be, the output current does not go through any components that will overheat when exposed to 5A and the PCB traces are heavy enough to not overheat!It would have been nice to have the switch positions imprinted on the board, but the board is small and almost full of components, so I guess that's understandable.I like these PD triggers but had to deduct 1 star for the bad one!
