Just ‘Cuz Switch PD Board
It’s a Switch, it’s a Power Distribution Board, what the heck more could you want?
The Switch PD Board is a simple, compact, lightweight, low-cost option for simplified wiring in combat bots and more! This board is the perfect marriage of the All-In-One PD Board and the Basic PD Board. It combines the PCB Switch that can handle as much current as an XT30 connector can take, and the power distribution from a battery to up to three ESCs or other devices.
What's included per purchase:
- One (1) board
- One (1) Tin plated steel #8-32 press insert nut, pressed into the power switch hole
- One (1) #8-32 Button Head Screw for the power switch (3/32" hex drive just like Fingertech switches use!)
Features & Specs:
- Convenient, electrically isolated mounting screw holes to hold down the board or attach a cover
- Clearance for M3, #6-32, or #6 plastite screws!
- Size: 48 x 14 mm (1.89 x 0.56 inches)
- Weight of ~7.5 grams (0.27 oz) assembled
- Convenient mounting points for up to four XT30 or XT30U connectors! Battery, Weapon, and two drive sides or other devices
- Clearly marked orientation for connectors to avoid reverse polarity ruining your parts
- Use any connector or combination of direct soldering and connectors
- Built-in screw switch to disconnect battery voltage from all devices (tested at 32A for 3.5 minutes, 50A+ for 30 seconds)
- When the screw is tightened, this connects battery positive to all other connector positive terminals
- Can connect as many other devices as you wish to the copper pads under the board - no need to use just four!
- Clear labels for all components and pins for easy assembly and troubleshooting
- No need for a messy wire 'squid' to wire all your ESCs!
- Extra pads on top to connect a BEC or other auxiliary devices
