USB Power Delivery (PD) protocol allows a power source to deliver multi-voltage compared to the single 5V USB voltage. Because of this, a compatible device (usually a mobile phone or laptop) charged faster with a PD charger compared to other non-PD charger. The goal is to use PD as a single standard for powering and charging all USB devices. Ultimately, a PD wall plug or powerbank can be used across all devices. USB PD make use of USB-C reversible connector.
This adapter converts a common DC power supply with 5.5 x 2.1 mm round plug to USB-C with Power Delivery standard. Take note that the supply voltage and maximum power must be higher than the intended output voltage and power. For example, if the input power supply is 12 V, the USB-C output from the adapter can supply 5V, 9V or 12V depending on the connected device but not 20 V. The maximum power this adapter can provide is 65 W.
This adapter can be used with mobile phone, laptop, single board computer and practically any device with USB-C connector.
Technical Details:
Input: 12 - 20.5 V DC (might not work correctly outside of this range)
Use at your own risk. Higher voltage will certainly cause damage if your device is not able to handle it. Always check the voltage with a voltmeter and make sure your device can handle the power that you are connecting it to!
