The APD Power Distribution Boards (PDBs) are designed for high voltage and high current applications. They consist of 8 layers of heavy copper to sustain maximum current demand whilst dissipating minimal heat.
The APD PDB comes in 2 variants: 8S 360A, 14S 500A
Up to 500 Amp continuous current*
PDB360[X] - 360A continuous
PDB500[X] - 500A continuous
Up to 1000 Amp burst current
PDB360[X] - 720A burst
PDB500[X] - 1000A burst
Up to 14S capable
Onboard 5V and 12V switching regulators
Overcurrent and short circuit protection on both 5V and 12V regulators
Twin battery input
Thermal relief on all solder tabs to allow for easier soldering
PCB rated for 180°C continuous
8-Layer PCB for minimal track resistance
ISOLA 185HR dielectric glass fibre for maximum thermal performance
Size:
PDB360[X] - 58x58x5mm
PDB500[X] - 58x58x5mm
Weight (no cables):
PDB360[X] - 0.021kg
PDB500[X] - 0.031kg
Continuous current ratings are at a 100% throttle duty cycle. Continuous rating is defined as max sustained current at 100% throttle for 60 seconds with 33 m/s airflow.
