⚡ Power your projects with precision and style — never settle for less!
The JacobsParts USB Type C PD Power Trigger Module is a compact, reliable solution for powering electronic projects or retrofitting old hardware with USB-C PD input. Supporting up to 5A current and performing smart PD voltage negotiation, it ensures your device receives the optimal voltage available from your USB-C power source. Designed for prototyping ease with solder-friendly pads, it requires genuine USB PD chargers and electronically marked cables for currents above 3A.

Great for protoyping
Felt obligated to write a review incase anyone else was an idiot like me. These work perfectly as described! Pads are easy to solder to, Minimal in size so likely will work in any project, decent value for prototyping rapidly, USB C correctly outputs 12v or lower if your PD cant deliver it. I made the mistake of thinking these only put out 9v before verifying my PD only put out 15 or 9v (No 12v). After buying a PD that included 12v, these immediately grabbed the voltage.

Works well
These are good, they negotiate the voltage properly every time.

Small but SUPER helpful
This little device is just awesome. You can trick your portable cell phone style battery bank to output 12V at 5 amps max. Other voltages are possible (if your pack and trigger supports it). You need a true PD USB-C output and cable. Once you do, you can use this for everything and let the battery pack deal with the batteries. Works great and I wish I knew about them sooner.

Only outputs 5v regardless of what they say
I ordered the 9v version of this product, and despite trying several different PD usb-c chargers and batteries, it still only puts out 5v. I returned these the first time because of the above issue, and the replacements have the exact same problem. These are complete garbage - unless you only need 5v

USB-C PD in, 12V out. What's not to like?
Perfect solution to adapt 12V devices to USB-C Power Delivery (PD). This unit will provide the maximum standard PD output of 5A, so at 12V this will supply 60W. Note that this is tiny, and if you plan to mount it somewhere, there is not a lot to attach to. A 3D printed groved slot and/or hot glue will be your best bet.

Does the Job, Check Charger for 12V Output
TLDR; 1. Anker GaN chargers do not have 12V output, just 9V/3A or 15V/3A 2. Some Anker power banks have 12V/3A output, check first. 3. UGreen's Nexode Pro line of chargers (verified on their 45W and 65W models), have 12V/3A output on USB-C ports 4. INIU 27,000 mAH power bank's 45W USB-C port has 12V/3A output 5. Test for 12V output before installation 1 out of 5 was DOA, but not a deal breaker. Successfully converted an older camera battery charger that uses a 5.5mm x 2.1mm barrel connector to USB-C, it calls for 12V/1A, so this USB-C 12V PD unit is more than capable of handling that load. One thing to note is that not all USB-C chargers will output 12V, Anker's GaN line of compact chargers go from 9V/3A to 15V/3A with no 12V output in-between. Interestingly, my Anker power bank has 12V/3A output. Check yours to verify. I've had good luck with UGreen's Nexode Pro line of GaN chargers. Both 45W and 65W models I own have 12V/3A output, which this 12V DC power trigger can successfully negotiate for. I've also found that only the 45W output port on my INIU 27,000mAH power bank has a 12V/3A output. As PD (Power Delivery) standards evolve, it's possible we'll lose 12V/3A output on more future chargers, perhaps manufacturers of these 12V trigger modules can consider triggering for 15V and incorporate a DC-to-DC converter to step it back down to 12V.

If your adaptor supports 12V PD, this works fine
I am using this to power a 12V fan using a power brick that supports 12V and it works fine. The use case isn't particularly complicated, but for my purposes it works well. I was a little surprised to find the "2 pack" delivered with the two pieces connected to each other, but considering the size, it probably makes them less likely to get lost. They broke apart without difficulty and with no problems on the boards.

Works great for under 30w or so
These are all working great 12.2-3v at low loads and around 30w starts to dip I to high 11’s you can spike 40-45w but then it’ll voltage drop and shut off, any request near 3amps can’t be sustained but more Than enough for what I expected how small it is etc. Planning on powering some automotive bench harnesses with this as the power regulator instead of ac adaptors with them
