The charging adapters we usually use almost all have Type A ports, whether one, two, or three of them. Four years ago, when the iPhone 12 was released, it only provided a PD fast charging cable and didn’t include a PD charging adapter. Buying a PD charging adapter can be quite expensive, so many iPhone 12 users have their PD cables unused and still rely on traditional Type A Apple cables, leading to resource waste.
The PD cable is a fast-charging cable with one end being Type C and the other being Lightning. We can add a Type C output to the regular Type A charger so that we can use the iPhone 12’s PD cable. Although it won’t provide fast charging, normal charging at 1A or 2A is still possible.
The following is a 5V1A charger.
The output port is Type A.
PCB front and back
6-pin Type C reversible
Inside construction, 3 lines on each side, ground, power supply, and CC.
The PD fast charging cable has 5 wires: ground, power supply, D-, D+, and cc. The 6-pin Type C does not have D- and D+. PD cables are unrecognizable. By making a solder point on the Type C, we can deceive the PD cable.
Both sides have two solder pads, with CC connected. This is equivalent to having ground, power, D-, D+, and CC on the Type C connector. The PD line can be recognized for charging the phone.
Connect the ground wire and power cord.
Cut an oval hole in the shell, and add a power indicator light hole while you’re at it.
The following is installed.
The ordinary charging head has been modified, and it can be used to charge all Lightning interface Apple phones, iPads, and headphone charging compartments with the PD charging cable of Apple 12. It can also charge Type C devices with a double-sided Type C cable.
Electronic DIY modification is both a learning experience and a source of enjoyment.
