## Description

The **PlayStation 2: USB-C Kit** is a board that allows to replace the original power supply unit for a modern and standard USB-C.

**If your original power supply unit is too old or damaged** and you need a new one, or **if you would like to power up your PlayStation with a standard USB-C PD charger**, such as the charger for your phone, or laptop, you can do so with this kit.

This board is compatible with the following models:

*   PlayStation One
*   PlayStation 2 FAT
*   PlayStation 2 SLIM _(SCPH-**7**XXXX external power supply)_
*   PlayStation 2 SLIM _(SCPH-**9**XXXX internal power supply)_

### HOW DOES IT WORK?

The **USB-C Power Delivery technology** (**USB-C PD**) allows for communication between the device and the power supply(charger), enabling the negotiation of the voltage to be supplied through the USB-C cable. In this case, the microchip included on this board is configured to request 9V or 12V**(1)**, signaling to the charger that it requires 9V or 12V**(1)** to run on. If the charger is compatible, it will supply the requested voltage. If it’s not compatible, nothing will happen, and the PlayStation won’t power on.

**(1)** The circuit has a selection solder jumper; if you solder it in one position, the circuit will require 9V, and if you solder it in the other position, it will require 12V from the power supply.

### FEATURES

*   Exact **shape for PlayStation 2**.
*   **External power** through **USB-C.**

### INCLUDED

*   1 USB-C board.
*   1 Power cable of 5cm.
*   3 Plastic cap for the USB-C board (black color)

### REQUIRED (NOT INCLUDED)

*   For PlayStation 2: a two-wire 20AWG cable.
*   For PlayStation 2 Slim SCPH-9XXXX: the internal power cable.
*   Phillips screwdriver
*   Soldering iron
*   Desoldering pump
*   Desoldering braid (mesh)
*   Soldering tin
*   Flux
*   Isopropyl alcohol (for cleaning)
*   Instant adhesive (e.g., Loctite or Super Glue)

### NOTES

The **PlayStation One and PlayStation 2 SLIM _SCPH-7XXXX_ run on 9V**, while the **PlayStation FAT and PlayStation _SCPH-9XXXX_ run on 12V**. 

Make sure your power supply with Power Delivery (PD) can provide the necessary voltage for your console model. Also, ensure that the supplied current is equal to or as close as possible to the amount required by the console. 

All tests were conducted using the same power supply as the rest of our kits, providing:

*   [Ikea SJÖSS 45W 9V 12V 3A](https://www.ikea.com/es/en/p/sjoss-45w-2-port-usb-charger-fast-charging-80574438/), 13€

You will also need a **USB-C to USB-C cable for PD**. If you don’t have one, these will work:

*   [Ikea SITTBRUNN USB-C to USB-C 1m](https://www.ikea.com/es/en/p/sittbrunn-usb-c-to-usb-c-blue-30546650/)
*   [Ikea LILLHULT USB-C to USB-C 1.5 m](https://www.ikea.com/es/en/p/lillhult-usb-c-to-usb-c-light-grey-40581092/)

If your PS2 is the FAT model and you are going to use a hard drive, then you will need a power supply that provides more than 3A of current. Maybe 5A; otherwise, you may have startup issues.
