Nintendo NES: USB-C Kit

Description

The Nintendo NES: USB-C Kit is a board that allows you to replace the original power connector with a modern and standard USB-C port.

If your original connector is too old or damaged and you need a new one, or if you would like to power your Nintendo NES with a standard USB-C charger, such as the charger for your Nintendo Switch, phone, or laptop, you can do so with this kit.

Moreover, with this board, you can remove the original, old, and inefficient power converter. Since the console operates at 5V, you only need power from the USB-C connection and a regular charger.
