Molex 217175-0001

  • Tasty Type-C connector
  • No data pins?
  • Only power and the CC pins for doing the Power Delivery handshake
  • Datasheet

Non FCC switcher?

  • ICL7660CBAZA-T Super Voltage Converters
  • Power Rail Flipper/Inverter
  • Charge pump voltage “flipper” uses only two capacitors
  • At an input voltage of 5V and an unloaded oscillator pin the switching frequency is 10khz
  • Reducing to less than 9khz only takes one capacitor
  • Price
    • Singles: $1.82
    • Bulk: $1
