Providing seamless power integration to Pi 5 Power PCB

Inelco Hunter has developed the powerPRO, a 5.1V Power PCB and USB-C Adaptor for the Raspberry Pi 5. The device solves the problem of requiring multiple power supplies when integrating the Pi5 with a display. Any extra peripherals can be effortlessly added, consolidating the power management into one convenient hub.

With an industrial design, the input voltage spans a wide range, from 5V to 18V. Multiple output connections supply a consistent, continuous 6A rating. The Pi 5, a display, and other associated peripherals can now be powered up from a single power PCB.

Engineered to streamline the Pi 5 setup, the device is an innovative solution that allows the new Pi 5 to be connected to a display using the powerPRO as the single power source. For example, the company's 10.1" TFT (D90101 series) Touch Panel offers a 'ready to go' integrated display solution with the Pi 5.

Designed with efficiency in mind, the compact footprint ensures a snug fit on the Pi 5. The D/5831/PWR5V has an overall size of 68.1mm x 27.6mm x 14mm, while the D/5831/USBC has an overall size of 26.4mm x 14mm x 12.7mm.

A versatile range of mounting accessories and cables allows for placement in various configurations. The powerPRO features standard RPI mounting hole spacing. Multiple output connections are provided: USB-C, 2.54mm, and 6-pin JST.

The maximum continuous current is 6A, with built-in thermal shutdown protection for overcurrent situations. The device is UL-recognised and RoHS-compliant.
