This is version 5. It has a self resetting fuse, a much stronger diode, and a slightly better connector. I am not planning a V6 unless there is a potential for a massive improvement.

In most cases, V4 will work just the same. The only difference is the diode, which may blow if the Newton is disconnected under power, losing the ability to power the Newton via USB-C. Everything else will continue to work just fine.
