APM/Pixhawk Power Module V6.0 Output BEC 3A XT60 Connector 28V 90A

Description

1. Power Monitoring: The primary function of the power module is to monitor the voltage and current supplied to the flight controller and other connected components. This information is crucial for real-time power monitoring and telemetry feedback to the operator.
2. Voltage and Current Measurement: The module can measure the input voltage (often from the battery) and output current, providing important data for monitoring the system’s health and performance.
3. BEC (Battery Eliminator Circuit): The power module typically includes a built-in Battery Eliminator Circuit (BEC) that provides a stable and regulated 5V output to power the flight controller, sensors, and other onboard electronics. This ensures that these components receive a consistent and clean power supply.
4. Current Rating: The module is capable of handling a maximum continuous current of 90 amperes (90A). This current rating is significant for UAVs and drones, which often require high-power components and motors.
5. Output Connector: The power module is equipped with an XT60 connector, which is a common connector used in RC hobbyist applications. It allows for secure and reliable connections.
6. Overcurrent Protection: Many versions of the APM/Pixhawk power module include overcurrent protection, which helps prevent damage to the module and connected components in the event of excessive current draw.
7. Input Voltage Range: The module can handle input voltages up to 28V, making it compatible with a wide range of lithium-polymer (LiPo) batteries commonly used in UAVs and drones.
8. Telemetry Compatibility: Some versions of the module have telemetry capabilities, allowing the real-time monitoring of voltage and current data through telemetry systems (e.g., telemetry radios) to a ground control station.
9. Applications: The APM/Pixhawk Power Module V6.0 is designed for use in autonomous flight control systems, including drones, UAVs, and robotic vehicles that use APM or Pixhawk flight controllers.
10. Safety Considerations: Proper installation and configuration of the power module are critical to ensure the safety and reliability of your autonomous vehicle. It’s important to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and safety precautions.
