Product Description: USB Type-A to USB Type-C Converter with DIP Switch - Adafruit 5972
The Adafruit USB Type-A to USB Type-C Converter is a versatile tool for electronics enthusiasts working on microcontroller projects . This compact board gives you full control over your USB signal lines , making it easy to customize their functions for a variety of applications—from dataless charging to power monitoring to device testing. The centerpiece of the board is a 4-position DIP switch that lets you manually turn each of the USB lines on and off: power (V+), ground (GND), and data lines (D+ and D-) . It’s worth noting, however, that the switches used in the project are optimized for operation at a voltage of 5V and a current of up to 100mA . This means that the board is best suited for low-power projects.
Special features of the converter
- Manual switching of USB lines - with the 4-position DIP switch you can individually control each USB line (V+, GND, D+, D-), allowing you to flexibly adapt the functionality of the board to various applications
- "Charge only" configuration - disabling the data lines (D+ and D-) allows you to create a device that will only charge the connected equipment, eliminating the risk of data transfer
- Power Monitoring - The ability to disconnect the V+ or GND lines allows you to monitor the supply voltage and current, which is especially useful when testing electronic devices
- Safety in low-voltage designs - switches are designed to operate at 5V and 100mA, making the board an excellent choice for microcontroller-based designs
- Compact and well-thought-out design - small dimensions of the board (39.7 x 19 x 9.5 mm) and clear markings on the laminate make it easy to integrate into any project and make it convenient to use
