Turn your USB devices on/off using a remote switch or a Raspberry Pi, Arduino and other devices!

This module enables power to a USB device to be turned on/off via a USB power switch (MOSFET). Power goes IN via the micro-USB side and OUT via the USB-A side.

The maximum current rating for the switch is 2.5A. The onboard chip used is a SiP32508/9.

A micro-USB cable or USB-C cable may be required (not included).

See it used in this Pi Zero stopwatch project!

Configuration

  • Supplied with the PD (pull-down) resistor set (Normally off)
  • Connectors on top for GND / EN / 5V
  • When the EN pin is connected to >2V (5V max) power to the device is turned on

Example usage

  • Simple toggle/slide switch at the end of a (long) cable, connecting 5V to EN to turn on
  • Raspberry Pi/Arduino - Connect GPIO pin to EN (and GND to GND) set GPIO pin to output, turn the pin on to enable power

The USB Power Switch can be used to control power for many USB powered devices such as Raspberry Pi Zero, Chromecasts etc.

Please Note

  • Only for use with 5V supplies and devices - Using anything else may damage your power supply/charger/USB devices and the USB Power Switch board
  • USB data lines are connected at all times
  • PCB colour may vary
  • Raspberry Pi/USB Power Monitor/Cables not included.

USB Power Switch Module
This module implements something that should have been part of the USB specification from the start: The ability to turn power on or off to a connected device. An absolute must for "dumb" devices like USB powered fans or lamps to make them operable from a RP2040 or Arduino device. I'm currently using it to switch power to a WS3080 weather station that has a bug that makes it loose USB connectivity every once in while ;-) The module could be improved if solder eyes were provided in addition to the USB sockets - this would have saved me the extra USB cable currently required.

USB Power Switch Module
These are just so good if you want to switch any USB powered devices on / off. I liked them so much that I ordered more and even told my Dad about them. He ordered a bunch too. Work a treat with ESP32 and ESPHome.

Love these. Easy to hook up to ESP32 and can then control USB powered lights over WiFi. Can even use the input USB to power the ESP32 at the same time.
