Designed to simplify your wiring with no compromise

The APD power distribution boards (PDB) are designed for high voltage and high current applications. They consist of 8 layers of heavy copper to sustain maximum current demand whilst dissipating minimal heat, operating continuously to PCB temperatures of up to 180 °C. Each PDB can sustain a continuous amount of current, split evenly across all four outputs. They feature 12 V and 5 V regulators onboard to power peripheral devices.

The signal and telemetry lines are sandwiched between the negative (GND) layers to shield them from switching noise at high power levels. Additionally, they have double sided main input power pads which allow for greater reliability with soldered connections. The PDBs are designed with flight controller mounting in mind, with standard 30.5 mm x 30.5 mm hole spacing. Solder tabs extend off the PCB to allow for thermal relief to make soldering easier.
