JacobsParts USB C PD DC Voltage Trigger Test Module 9V 12V 20V Adjustable Power 5A 100W E-Mark Type-C

I bought this somewhat impulse buy to test PD ports on my portable power banks. I was rather surprised to see it work so easily. Plug it in and it negotiates the voltage to the last setting. The two rectangular tactile switches select up and down for voltages and some other functions printed on the circuit board that I didn't test. My USB load tester can only go to 25W so I added 20awg wires and an PP15 connector for my larger load tester. I then coated with urethane conformal coating and liquid pvc to protect the contacts and parts from my fingers. I would prefer better protection, but this low cost device. It handled 100W (20V at 5A) without too much voltage loss.Overall, recommended for testing USB-C power delivery ports.

The media could not be loaded. This review is for the LX-PD01-V3.1 trigger. I purchased both, LX-QC03-V2 and LX-PD01-V3.1 triggers from JacobsParts. Both triggers work perfectly. With both triggers, you can control any modern charger. The PD trigger had a bad solder job (see attached video) two of the pins on the male usb-c were bridged, luckily I saw this before using and used my iron to fix it. I used the AOHi 65w Magcube for testing. The PD trigger was able to get the charger up to 20V mode, although the QC trigger stopped at 12V, because QC uses the data lines to communicate mode, we can use a voltmeter to verify the trigger is doing it’s job. The output is dependent on the charger and example why it’s good to get both triggers.

Work as intended, fast shipping

I got it about an hour ago and was able to test all its functionality other than the presence of the E-Marker chip since I don't have a tester for it. Nor do I have a 100W load.Everything works as described though I don't know what a permanent key lock is supposed to do. It remembers the last voltage that was set with the buttons even if you connect and reconnect.It wants to see a pulldown resistor on the USB-C female connector to start energy flow there but will enable energy flow to the USB-A connector so it must have a pulldown resistor on the USB-C male side. This was the main reason for me to buy this decoy because I want to be able to charge my LiIon car jump starter from a USB PD charging blockAnd, unlike what Michael observed and stated in his May 12 2021 post, I observed that the USB-A connector follows the voltage selected for USB-C rather than remaining at 5V.Now to find a decoy that implements PPS!

The images show my micro webserver (GMK-NUK) with the JacobsParts USB trigger. It was simple to setup. I plugged in a USB tester just to verify the output and it was pretty much spot on. I have the Gli.Net GL-MT1300 and the GMK-NUK plugged in via USB-C cables to a 130W USB C charging brick. It all works great and I don't have to worry about using (and blocking) all the outlets on the power strip under my desk.

I bought two versions of this from JacobsParts and unfortunately this one didn't give 12V as an option, whereas the other one they sell as 'Voltage Trigger Decoy Module' supplied the 12V which I needed. Going through the options on this one only gave me 5, 9, 15, or 20 - not 12.Still going to keep this as I'm sure I'll find a use, but it lost a point not only because of that but because the buttons are very exposed and easy to press for any type of project that might move - something I had difficulty working around without a 3d printer.

I bought to use with my Pinecil usb-c soldering iron. I've been having an issue where my power brick doesn't always negotiate to 12v (needed to solder). I bought this thing to use in-between to lock the voltage setting to 12v and it works beautifully. This is the cheapest and best of the various USB-C PD voltage modules I've tried. Excellent AAA+++

Tried to use this to force 15v out for a device since it keeps negotiating voltage down with "unofficial" chargers, and it just gives up to that device. Also the "permanent lock" feature doesn't work, it always switches it back to 5v regardless of holding S+ or S- (I tried both in case the instructions were backwards or something". Disappointed honestly.
