Type-C USB Power Meter Tester – Color Display, PD 3.1, QC 3.0, Fast Charge Protocols
Need to know exactly what's going on between your USB-C power source and your device? The Type-C USB Power Meter Tester has you covered. Whether you're debugging a fast-charging setup, validating USB-C PD profiles, or just want to make sure your power bank is delivering what it promises, this compact meter delivers detailed, real-time stats on voltage, current, power, capacity, and more — all with a vibrant full-color display.
This little guy isn't just for basic voltage checks — it supports a full suite of charging protocols including PD3.1 (yes, the 48V kind), QC2.0/3.0, PPS, FCP, SCP, PE, VOOC, and others, making it a universal tool for USB-C gear. Flip through six different interface screens showing live data or cumulative charging stats. Curious about spikes or drops? Pause the live curve graph and zoom into the action with a long press.
Its IPS color display rotates automatically thanks to a built-in gravity sensor, so you can read it no matter how it's plugged in — or lock the screen orientation if you prefer. With professional-grade measurement accuracy (±0.1%), support for up to 600W power monitoring, and dual-direction current sensing, this tool punches well above its weight.
Features:
- All-in-One Protocol Support: Monitors PD3.1/PD3.0/PD2.0, PPS, QC3.0/2.0, FCP, SCP, PE, VOOC, and more.
- Professional Accuracy: ±0.1% precision for voltage/current readings — ideal for serious testing.
- Color Display, Multiple Views: Six pages of detailed stats including live voltage/current curves, power history, CPU temperature, and peak tracking.
- Auto-Rotating Display: Gravity sensor auto-rotates the screen in 4 directions — no upside-down numbers here.
- Real-Time Curve Graphing: See voltage/current changes over time. Pause/resume for focused analysis.
- Compact and Durable: Just 43mm x 25mm x 10mm — toss it in your toolkit and go.
Technical Specs:
- Input Voltage: 4.5–50V DC
- Current Range: 0–6A (12A peak)
- Power Range: 0–600W
- Capacity Tracking: Up to 99,999mAh / 9,999Wh
- Sampling Resistance: 0.001Ω
- Power Consumption: <0.15W
- Interface: USB-C Male to Female
- Temperature Monitoring: Onboard CPU temp
- Display: IPS Full-Color LCD
- Control: Dual-button navigation
- Size: 43 x 25 x 10mm
Whether you're engineering a new USB-C product or just a curious tinkerer keeping your gadgets in check, this tester gives you the data to make smart decisions.
Note: While this meter handles high-power scenarios, always verify your cables and connections are rated appropriately for the job.
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- DC
- DC means direct current, where electricity flows in one constant direction, as supplied by batteries, USB ports and many plug-pack power supplies. When a product specifies DC, it runs from a DC supply rather than mains AC, so you need to provide the correct voltage and polarity.
- Gravity
- Gravity is DFRobot’s plug-in connector system for sensors, motors and modules, using standard cables to reduce loose jumper wiring. It matters because Gravity-compatible parts can connect directly to these ports, while non-Gravity parts may need adapters or manual wiring.
- IPS
- IPS is a type of LCD panel that keeps colours and contrast more consistent when viewed from an angle. This matters for small displays that may be mounted in a dashboard, handheld project, or enclosure where the viewer is not always looking straight on.
- LCD
- LCD stands for liquid crystal display, a screen technology that uses a backlight and liquid crystals to show images or text. It matters because LCD modules usually need a display driver and enough controller pins or a bus interface to send image data.
- Matter
- A smart home connectivity standard designed to let devices work across different ecosystems. It matters if you want a project to integrate more easily with platforms such as Apple Home, Google Home, or other Matter-compatible systems.
- QC3.0
- Quick Charge 3.0 (QC3.0) is a Qualcomm fast-charging technology in which a compatible charger and device negotiate a higher voltage over USB so charging can happen faster. A QC3.0 label indicates the kind of charger or power source a device can take advantage of, or that it can itself supply, for faster charging.
- Type-C
- USB Type-C (USB-C) is a small, reversible USB connector used for charging, power, and data transfer on many modern devices. A Type-C port or plug indicates the cable and charger connection needed to power, charge, or communicate with a device.
- USB-C
- USB-C is a small, reversible USB connector that can carry power, data and, on some devices, video over a single cable. The same connector can range from charging only to high-speed data, so the functions a given port actually supports vary.
