PDBrick: 1.7kW of USB power delivery #USB #Power

LeoDJ has developed PDBrick, “1.7 kW worth of raw USB-C PD power.”

24x USB-C ports, 4x 100W, 20x 65W.
Also 4x USB-A ports.

The whole project was fuelled by initially finding really cheap DC-to-PD modules on AliExpress.

65W: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Ddhj
100W: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Dmrq

And for cheap but powerful power supplies, there was basically only one logical choice: Used server power supplies. The HP DPS ones are pretty nice and modding-friendly. JFF, I did a basic CAD mockup of how the modules and PSUs could fit together.

It was too stupid and cheap to not give it a shot.

See the design and build progress in a series of posts on Mastodon.
