A breadboard power supply with USB C power delivery - The Byte Sized Engineer | DigiKey

Most breadboard power supplies use a DC barrel jack or USB mini connectors. But let’s be honest, most of our workbenches are now equipped with USB C power supplies which can offer a lot of benefits. In this video Zach updates and improves his old breadboard power supply with a new PCB that uses USB C power delivery. This means he can select voltages between 3.3V, 5V, 9V, 12V, 15V, and 20V on each rail of the breadboard.
