Hello everyone, I am a dream and a pig. Today I will show you a charging cable I soldered in boredom.
A few days ago, I DIYed a monitor elevated stand. Some friends said that I made a shelf under the name of elevated stand. Well, yes, it is indeed a shelf, don’t worry about this issue. Some friends said that my own DIY is not cheap either. In fact, DIY is never much cheaper than buying finished products. Many times, DIY is far more expensive than buying finished products. DIY pursues the process of doing it yourself.
I had been planning to buy a more slutty charging cable before. There are two types on Taobao. One is to use to plug in to switch connectors, and the other is to use non-switchable connectors. I have no interest in the design of switch connectors, so I look at the non-switchable connectors. I have to say that these charging cables are really slutty, but the price is really not cheap, and I like them for more than 100. I also think that the connector shell is really not in line with my aesthetics and is not so exquisite.
, then, it’s better to DIY one by yourself. A charging cable is nothing more than two Type-C plugs, two sets of plug shells, an 8-core wire, and a slider for displaying it. How simple.
When buying these accessories on Taobao, you need to pay attention to: the C-type plug has ones with chips and without chips. To achieve 100W fast charging, you must buy ones with chips. The shell also has two materials: aluminum alloy and brass . The aluminum alloy shell. To be honest, the texture is very average and needs to be locked with screws. Although it is cheap, it is not good-looking.
So I found a self-locking shell that specializes in brass chrome plated. It has very exquisite workmanship and very good texture, but the price is a bit expensive.
So, I finally received such a bunch of things.
100W gold-plated Type-C male pair with E-MARK chip.
brass chrome-plated self-locking shell. To be honest, this shell does have a very good texture and exquisite workmanship. It should be the ceiling of the same products as Taobao .
mm super soft liquid silicone 8 core wire, 6mm and the shell above are perfectly matched, and there is no need to use an additional heat shrink tube . There are four thick and four thin wires inside this wire. Because Type-Ch male needs to be welded 6 wires, two thick ones can be welded into a group, a total of two groups are used for +-voltage, so it can pass 6A120W, and the other 4 thin wires are used for data transmission.
What you need to do below is assemble this pile of things into a charging cable. The most important tool you need to use is soldering iron .
The first step is to penetrate the slider and fix it.
Then put the self-locking parts of the two shells into the self-locking parts first. This step is very critical. Otherwise, after soldering the wire, it is not penetrated into the self-locking part, so you have to remove the plug and charge it again.
If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools and prepare all the tools you need.
peel off about 1cm of outer skin to expose the wire core inside. The outer skin of this wire core is very heat-resistant, so you can do not need to peel the outer skin of the wire core and just apply tin.
Type-C plug is fixed with small vise , and it is easier to solder it later. Pay attention to the order of the lines when welding and do not weld the wrong ones.
welding process is very simple. Anyone with basic welding skills can easily do it. After welding, use the multimeter to test it. If there is no problem, you can seal the glue. The store that bought the shell has given the glue. The Type-C plug needs to be fixed to the shell by filling the glue, so that it can also avoid short circuits.
finished product, if you are proficient in the technology, you can get it done in about ten minutes.
Personally think that self-locking looks more refined than fixing with screws, so I bought this self-locking shell for DIY. Most of the ones I bought on Taobao are fixed by screws.
Test it. PD fast charging charges my mobile power supply, and the charging power can reach about 40W.
Charge me another mobile power supply, 100W charging power, very stable and perfect.
solder this wire, and the accessories bought back in two stores respectively. Among them, the Type-C male one is purchased in one store, free shipping for 11 yuan, and the other wires and shells are purchased in another store. After the discount, 66 yuan, a piece of glue is given, so the whole cost is 77 yuan. The 1.2-meter-long C TO C 100W charging cable is 10 minutes. It is 30 to 40 yuan cheaper than buying the finished product directly. The key is that you can decide the color, length, and shell quality of the wire according to your needs. It is recommended that friends who want to buy this kind of wire but have the ability to welding it themselves.
