Description

A USB-C power adapter that plugs straight into a solderless breadboard's power rails. Three in the pack, for low-power prototypes on the bench.

Highlights

• 5V or 3.3V per side. Each half of the board has its own slide switch, so the two rails can run at different voltages.
• USB-C input. Power it from a laptop, USB hub or power bank at 5V.
• Resettable fuse. A PPTC fuse limits the whole board to 0.5A, and resets itself after an overload.
• Status LEDs. A red LED shows 5V and a blue LED shows 3.3V on each side.
• Fits one way only. The board seats on the breadboard in one orientation; check the + and − marks before powering up.

In the box

• 3 × breadboard power adapter (5V / 3.3V), pins fitted

Specifications

• Input: 5V DC via USB-C
• Output: 5V or 3.3V per side, by switch
• Total current: 0.5A, PPTC fuse protected
• 3.3V budget: 200mA, shared between both sides
• Measured output: approx. 4.92V (5V setting), 3.27V (3.3V setting)

Works with

Suits logic circuits, sensors, displays and a single development board. Breadboard not included; use a dedicated supply for motors or large LED arrays.
