The Volo Power Distribution Board has been engineered from the ground up to provide the highest possible performance and reliability in a small form-factor. The Volo PDB distributes power from a battery pack to 4 ESCs, as well as providing two regulated DC outputs for powering servos, cameras, video transmitters, etc. Batteries may range from 3S to 6S LiPo, and the battery input is reverse polarity protected. The Power also features convenient cable tie loop holes for securing your battery cables, which remove any stresses on the solder terminals when connecting or disconnecting your battery.
The 6V and 12V switching power supplies are synchronised and interleaved, resulting in the smallest size and best possible ripple and noise performance. There is also an extra set of filtered 12V outputs for sensitive electronics such as cameras and video transmitters. With all electronic components on the board being Industrial spec (2 classes higher than consumer electronics) and with the board having a conformal coating you can be confident that your Multirotor is in safe hands.
