Q1: What is the Studica Robotics High-Current Power Distribution Board used for?
The Studica Robotics High-Current Power Distribution Board is designed to distribute a single high-amperage power input (up to 60 A @ 24 V DC) to multiple output devices. It’s commonly used in robotics, automation, and embedded control systems to power motor drivers, controllers, and sensors safely and efficiently.
Q2: How many outputs does this power board support?
The board supports up to 10 individual output connections, allowing multiple subsystems to be powered from one main power line. Each output can handle up to 30 A of current, providing flexibility for various device loads.
Q3: Does this board require tools for installation?
No. The board features UL-rated Degson DG2216R and DG2206R tool-less connectors, enabling quick, secure wire insertion and release without any crimping tools or screwdrivers.
Q4: What type of wire gauge should I use?
For the input terminal, use AWG 18 – 4 wire, depending on current load.
For the output terminals, use AWG 24 – 8 wire. Always verify that wire ratings match your system’s maximum current draw.
Q5: What fuse rating does this power board support?
Each output line can use a fuse rated up to 30 A, ensuring safety and preventing over-current damage. Fuses should be chosen according to your device’s current requirements.
Q6: Is the Studica Robotics Power Distribution Board UL-rated?
Yes. All Degson connectors used on this board are UL-rated for safety and reliability, making the board compliant with common educational, industrial, and competition standards.
Q7: What voltage range can this board handle?
The board operates at 24 V DC nominal voltage, optimized for robotics systems and other low-voltage DC applications.
Q8: Can I use this power board with other Studica Robotics components?
Absolutely. It’s designed to integrate seamlessly with the Studica Robotics ecosystem, including power switches, motor controllers, battery packs, and control hubs — simplifying wiring for both educational and professional robotics systems.
Q9: How do I mount this board in a robot chassis?
Mounting holes and a compact design make it easy to secure the board directly to a robotics frame or electronics panel. Ensure adequate spacing for ventilation when operating near maximum current levels.
Q10: Is this board suitable for classroom or competition robots?
Yes. Its safe, clean wiring setup and easy installation make it ideal for STEM education, classroom robotics kits, and competition robots where reliability and rapid assembly are essential.
