USB Type-C PD QC Trigger Modules – Fixed Voltage from Any Charger, No Soldering Required
Need 12V or 20V from a USB-C charger but don’t want to build a voltage regulator from scratch? These USB Type-C PD QC trigger modules automatically negotiate the voltage with your power source and deliver it directly to the output pins. Simply select your desired voltage using the DIP switch, connect your charger, and measure — you’ll have the exact power supply you need for your project in under a minute.
Note: Always measure the output voltage with a multimeter before connecting any device to ensure the negotiated voltage matches your chosen setting.
Why choose this set? (Key Advantages):
- Hardware DIP switch selector — Easily toggle between 5V, 9V, 12V, 15V, and 20V without the need for firmware, programmers, or coding; it is entirely mechanical and instant.
- 4-Protocol Compatibility — Supports PD3.0, PD2.0, QC, and BC1.2, ensuring compatibility with the vast majority of modern laptop chargers, phone adapters, and power stations.
- Up to 100W power delivery — Capable of powering mini-PCs, high-power LED strips, or demanding embedded projects, provided your power source supports it.
- Reversible Type-C connector — Features automatic polarity detection, so the orientation of the cable doesn’t matter; zero risk of reverse connection.
- Compact 11 × 28 mm footprint — Designed to fit into almost any DIY enclosure or project box without requiring structural modifications.
- Integrated dual protection — Built-in overvoltage and overheating protection safeguards both the module and the circuit you are powering.
- Set of 2 units — Includes a spare for your workbench or allows you to power two separate circuits at different voltages simultaneously.
Details and Performance
The module acts as a PD decoy trigger: it simulates a consumer device and negotiates the voltage configured via the DIP switch with the USB-C source, requiring no software intervention. The supported input voltage ranges from 4V to 22V, and the output remains stable at the selected value as long as the source can provide the required current. When operating near 100W, ensure your charger is certified and that there is adequate ventilation around the module.

Programming and Usage Instructions
- Consult the DIP switch configuration table provided in the documentation or printed directly on the PCB to match the switch positions with your desired voltage.
- With the module disconnected from any power source, set the DIP switch to the position corresponding to your required voltage (5V, 9V, 12V, 15V, or 20V).
- Connect the module to a PD/QC compatible USB Type-C charger with sufficient power capacity for your application.
- Measure the output voltage with a multimeter before connecting your load to confirm the negotiation was successful.
- Connect your load to the output pins and verify operation under normal working conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the module work with any USB-C charger?
No. It requires a charger that supports at least one of the following protocols: PD3.0, PD2.0, QC, or BC1.2. A standard 5V charger without PD will only provide 5V, regardless of the DIP switch setting.
Can I power a 65W–100W laptop or device with this module?
Yes, provided your USB-C power source supports the necessary power output and the corresponding PD protocol. While the module is rated for up to 100W, actual performance depends entirely on the capabilities of your charger.
Do I need software or a programmer to set the voltage?
No. Everything is handled via hardware by adjusting the DIP switches. No firmware, programming cables, or apps are required.
What happens if the charger does not support the selected voltage?
The module will negotiate the closest available voltage that the source can provide. This is why it is crucial to measure the output with a multimeter before connecting any circuit.
Is a heatsink necessary for high-power applications?
At loads approaching 100W, ensure adequate ventilation around the module. The integrated overheating protection will shut the unit down before damage occurs, but good thermal conditions will significantly extend its lifespan.
