USBThe socket is one of the most frequently used electrical interfaces in daily life. In many cases, it is only used for power supply. Only when data is transmitted will a USB HUB be used as an interface expansion. HUB is what we often call a hub. For example, when the USB interfaces of computers and notebooks are not enough, USB HUB will be selected for expansion. If you need to use multiple USB devices in daily life and only need power supply but the interfaces are not enough, you can make a simple USB power splitter by yourself, so that one interface can output multiple power supplies. Of course, the normal use of each device can only be guaranteed when the power supply USB power is sufficient.

So how do you make a USB power splitter yourself?

1. Preparation
1, Effect diagram
First, let’s take a look at the finished product of the USB power splitter we made this time, the effect of 1 to 4, which is mainly composed of 1 USB male socket and 4 USB female sockets. The USB male socket is used as the power input, and 4 USB female sockets are connected in parallel as the output to achieve the 1-to-4 function:

2. Material preparation 1. 1 USB male socket 2. 4 USB female sockets 3. 1 plastic shell 4. 1 LED and 1 resistor 5. Multi-purpose board (perforated board) 6. Wire tools, etc. 360993 P03 Material preparation 2. Design Principle 1. Principle The circuit principle of this work is very simple, mainly using the parallel output of the USB socket. The red LED is used as the power indicator.

3. DIYProcess sharing
Prepare 4 USB female sockets and lay out the welding wires according to the definition of their pins. The VCC and GND pins are mainly used. The other two data lines are left hanging:

Good, but the USB power supply has high load capacity requirements, especially when too many high-current USB devices are connected  Details Published on 2018-6-27 10:07

When there are many outputs, try to control the power size
