PDB 500[X]
The PDB500 is designed for high voltage and high current applications. It consists of 8 layers of heavy copper to sustain maximum current demand whilst dissipating minimal heat. This PDB can sustain up to 125A continuous to each ESC leg. Also features 12V 3 Amp and 5V 3 Amp regulators with a maximum of 14S (60V) input.Signal and telemetry lines are sandwiched between the negative (GND) layers to shield them from switching noise at high power levels.
The PDB500 has double-sided main input power pads which can be soldered or bolted to (not recommended for high power). It allows for flight controller mounting with standard 30.5mm x 30.5mm hole spacing. Solder tabs extend off the PCB to allow for thermal relief to make soldering easier.Manufactured using ISOLA 185HR high-performance dielectric glass fibre to sustain continuous high-temperature scenarios.
