 5v Charger To 12v Modification | Increase Charger Voltage Upto 12v | Charger Upgrade | Charger Hack

Hello! Friends welcome to my another project. In this project i'm gonna show you how to charger your smartphones. If you don't have your smartphone charger then no problem with the help of the gadget you can charge your smartphone very easily. The input of this converter is not more than 12 volt or you can use 9 volt also but in the case of 9 volt the charging time is definitely increased. You can use any 12 volt charger like routers, switches etc.

Here it is the circuit diagram. We can build our tiny little converter with the help of this diagram.

Place your components according to circuit diagram and then soldering it very carefully. Don't forget to solder a female USB port and a switch in a candy box cap.

Now fit your chip into a candy box and make a hole at the end of the box for input.

Finally your 12 volt to 5 volt portable gadget looks like this.

This will show you how to make a 12v to USB (5v) adapter. The most obvious use of this is for 12v car adapters, but anywhere you have 12v you can use it! If you need 5v for anything other than USB, simply skip the steps about adding the USB ports ;)

The Transistor has 3 pins, we will call them pins 1 2 and 3 (when you are looking at the transistor and it's heat sink / metal plate is facing AWAY from you). Pin 2 is the GROUND (-).

- Pin 1 will be connected to the power supply, passing by the fuse. There are different sizes of fuse holders, the size does not really matter as long as it has the same ratings. There might be a $1 difference or something.

- Pin 2 will be connected to the ground (-) so we will just add a wire

The capacitor will be connected to pins 2 and 3 (the shorter leg goes to the ground \ pin 2)

This capacitor's role is to mitigate startup power-spikes.

The USB will be connected to pins 2 (- ground) and 3 (5v +). You can use this diagram; use the picture called "receptacle". I have used salvaged USB ports, if you order them, they will probably be a bit easier to solder. The advantage to this is to have a solidly joined pair as I have.

If you have more than one port, connect all the pins 1 to pins 1 and pins 4 to pins 4

*more detailed note on why the ports are wired the way they are, skip if you don't care* In order to keep the voltage steady at 5v, your ports should be in parallel rather than in series in order to keep the voltage constant . What does this mean? quite simply you make sure that the red wire goes to every positive port you have (do NOT go "wire to +" and then "from minus go to next +"). Does each red wire have to leave from the same place? no, the importance is just that they all touch each other

If you are adding the LED, place it the same way as the capacitor, but put the appropriate resistor in series with it (this calculator will tell you how, use 5v as the voltage in the 1 LED calculator) (aka, make it an extension of either one of the legs). You might want to put this on wires so you can move the LED to a better position later on.

I like to encase circuits in hot glue, because I find hot glue is easy to apply and easy to remove, but will not be removed by accident.
