## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=TPH-105499:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/TPH-105499:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

Turn two of your USB devices on/off using a remote switch or a [Raspberry Pi](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi/boards.html), [Arduino](https://core-electronics.com.au/arduino/boards.html) and other [microcontrollers](https://core-electronics.com.au/collections/adafruit-development-boards)!

This module enables power to turn two USB devices on/off via a USB power switch (MOSFET). Power goes IN via the micro-USB side and OUT via the dual USB Type-A socket (power for both sockets is toggled on/off together).

The maximum current rating for the switch is 2.5A shared across both ports. The onboard chip used is a SiP32508/9

A [micro-USB cable](https://core-electronics.com.au/usb-cable-type-a-to-micro-b-1m.html) or [USB-C cable](https://core-electronics.com.au/50cm-usb-a-usb-c-cable.html) may be required **(not included)**.

 Configuration - Supplied with the PD (pull down) resistor set (Normally off).
- Connectors on top for GND / EN / 5V
- When the EN pin is connected to >2V (5V max) power to the device is turned on.
 
 Example Usage - Simple toggle/slide switch at the end of a (long) cable, connecting 5V to EN to turn on.
- Raspberry Pi/Arduino - Connect the GPIO pin to EN (and GND to GND) set the GPIO pin to output, and turn the pin on to enable power.
 
The USB Power Switch can be used to control power for many USB-powered devices such as Raspberry Pi Zero, Chromecasts, etc.

 Please Note - **Only for use with 5V supplies and devices** - Using anything else may damage your power supply/charger/USB devices and the USB Power Switchboard
- PCB colour may vary
- Raspberry Pi/USB Power Monitor/Cables not included.
