USB Type-C Female 5V Power Connector with Wire

USB Type-C Female 5V Power Connector

The USB Type-C Female 5V Power Connector provides a convenient way to add a USB-C power input to electronic projects. It includes a female USB Type-C socket with pre-attached red and black wire leads.

The connector supplies the standard 5V available from a compatible USB power source. Therefore, it suits small circuits, LED projects, development boards, and other low-voltage devices.

This product carries power only. It does not provide USB data communication or automatic voltage negotiation.

USB-C Power Connector Applications

This connector can add a modern USB-C power input to many small electronic devices. For example, makers can use it to replace a damaged power socket or power a custom 5V circuit.

Typical applications include:

• Arduino and microcontroller projects
• LED lights and decorative lighting
• Mini fans and small DC devices
• DIY power boxes
• Battery-powered project enclosures
• Electronics repairs
• Breadboard power connections
• Educational and STEM projects
• Embedded control circuits
• Custom 5V accessories

Wiring Instructions

Follow these basic connections:

• Connect the red wire to the circuit’s positive 5V input.
• Connect the black wire to the circuit ground.
• Check the polarity with a multimeter before powering the device.
• Insulate all exposed wire joints after installation.

Wire colors normally follow this arrangement. However, always verify the actual polarity before connecting sensitive electronics.

Important Compatibility Notes

This connector does not convert or regulate voltage. The connected USB source must provide a suitable 5V output.

Furthermore, it cannot request 9V, 12V, 15V, or 20V from a USB-PD charger. Use a dedicated USB-PD trigger module when your project requires a voltage higher than 5V.

Some USB-C power sources activate their output only after detecting the correct resistors on the CC pins. Therefore, operation with a USB-C-to-USB-C cable depends on the internal construction of this connector.

A USB-A-to-USB-C cable or an always-on 5V USB source may offer better compatibility with basic two-wire versions.

Do not exceed the safe current capacity of the attached wires. Also, avoid using this connector for high-power loads unless you know its tested current rating.
