Product description
This plug-in power supply provides common microcontroller boards and their expansion modules with 5 V DC. The Micro-USB connector fits directly onto many development boards such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and similar systems. The maximum current of 2 A is sufficient for boards with additional modules such as sensors, Wi-Fi adapters, or LED strips.
The integrated protection circuit immediately cuts off the power supply if the current exceeds 2 A or a short circuit occurs. This protects connected components from damage caused by overload. Even during extended periods of operation, the electronics safely switch off the output if the temperature becomes too high.
These power supplies are used when building prototypes with multiple sensors, developing measurement data acquisition systems, or operating robotics modules for testing. For stationary setups in the laboratory or workshop, the plug-in power supply is more practical than powering the system via USB from a PC, as the load does not fluctuate.
The power supply requires a circuit with a grounded plug. For boards that require only 3.3 V, a level shifter must be connected between the power supply and the board. For continuous operation with power consumption well below 0.5 A, a simple USB power bank or PC USB port is also sufficient.
Safety information
This power supply is not intended for use in household electrical installations and must not be integrated into building circuits. It is intended exclusively for building prototypes and for testing and development purposes with microcontroller boards. Work on or near the power connection may only be carried out by a qualified electrician; if the power supply is damaged or there is any uncertainty before commissioning, a qualified electrician must be consulted.
