PortaPow USB Power Blocker - Stops Charging, Allows Data (Single Pack)

Description:

  • This is NOT a data blocker, see PortaPow's other products if that is what you need
  • This is a USB-A male to female adaptor which has the D+, D- and 0V (GND) connected but the 5V disconnected, so power cannot pass through.
  • Useful for specialist applications such as 3D Printers and Raspberry Pi where providing power results in undesirable effects
  • Note a power blocker is not compatible with smartphones, tablets and many other devices. Please read the reviews to see situations where it does and does not work
  • Supports USB 2.0 Data Transfer

    5.0 out of 5 stars Works with Zynthian

    F. · 3 March 2025

    (function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } Was getting terrible audio noise when sending USB midi from a laptop to Raspberry Pi running Zynthian then audio back to laptop through an audio interface. This makes the noise disappear almost completely. Still a little noise but inaudible above the music.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Does what it says !

    C. · 3 January 2025

    My USB dongle was kept turning on on my EV car;Which I found kept trouble shooting the 12v battery causing it to drain a lot and potentially causing ICCU problems.Plugged this and got power sourced from the power plug and all sorted!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Possibly the most honest product on Amazon

    A. · 21 May 2023

    There’s no hype with this, it is exactly what it says it is - and they’ve literally made it transparent to prove it. The price perfectly matches the product spec. Didn’t solve my particular problem but that’s an issue with my equipment. Well done for providing an honest, well-priced product that solves a need without having to resort to high-priced, obfuscated snake-oil ! (Or taping over USB pins 🙂) Top marks 👍🏼

    1.0 out of 5 stars Does not work

    M.R. · 17 June 2025

    Doesn't work, blocked data too, save your money

    4.0 out of 5 stars Works as advertised , but did not pass midi data

    J.C. · 1 April 2024

    I bought this to eliminate interference noise , which it did , but while it should pass data , it didn’t pass midi data so was of no use for me sadly, ymmv.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Does Exactly What it Says in the Description.

    R. · 11 July 2024

    I use this to prevent power supply conflicts on my Arduino projects.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A great product!

    P. · 16 February 2024

    Sometimes there is a situation where you want to block the power supply and not the data transfer. Here's the solution. I recommend.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Overpriced and will only work with some devices

    A.C. · 31 October 2024

    £5 for 2 connectors and 3wire PCB.It turns out, even if you have external power, many devices won't speak USB unless there is 5V on the V+ rail. It's used to detect "host presence" even if it's not used for power. So basically this device would be useful if it had an external power input.

    ça marche

Le boitier est bien alimenté uniquement quand le moteur tourne. (la connexion se rétablissait avec le téléphone quand je sortait pour aller dans le jardin ou que je bricolais dans le garage). Problème résolu, ça fonctionne depuis 15 jours.

    Perfekt till min Raspberry pi och 3D printer

    C.S. · 3 March 2024

    Kör Octopi / Octoprint med min Raspberry Pi till min 3D printer. Denna blockerar strömöverföring via USB vilket var exakt det jag var ute efter. Produkten skulle kunna vara ännu mindre i storlek, om man får önska något.

    Cumple con su función perfectamente

    J.B. · 15 July 2024

    Bloquea de manera comprobada la energía del puerto USB del ordenador, permitiendo alimentar independientemente del ruido eléctrico del puerto el cable conectado al conversor digital.

    Sehr kluges Produkt

    K. · 19 April 2025

    Super geniales Produkt, promte Lieferung.Schade dass es dies für USB-C noch nicht gibt !!!!!!!!!

    Fa il suo dovere ma....

    A.S. · 26 September 2024

    La chiavetta fa il suo dovere e toglie l'alimentazione, l'ho acquistata per utilizzare la connessione dati del mio Pixel tramite cavo USB col PC ma senza alimentazione lo smartphone non rileva il cavo USB quindi l'ho restituita. Peccato.
