Description

The breadboard power supply is a useful device that provides a regulated voltage to power rails on breadboards for easy and efficient prototyping of microelectronic applications. It simplifies matters by being able to connect directly to a breadboard's power rails and has selectable power outputs of 5V DC, off, and 3.3V DC. The module design is in the form of a plug-in that connects to the breadboard, and it has a regulated 5V USB output for powering other USB devices. It also has on-board power on/off switches, short circuits, and overheat protection, an input diode to protect a circuit from negative voltages or AC power supplies, and an LED power indicator.

 

Package Includes:

  • 1 x Breadboard Power Supply Board

 

Features:

  • Regulated Voltage: The breadboard power supply provides a regulated voltage to the power rails on a breadboard, which is essential for the proper functioning of electronic circuits.
  • Selectable Power Output: The breadboard power supply has more than one selectable power output. For example, the RobotDyn 5V/3.3V Breadboard Power Supply has a jumper to set between 5V DC, off and 3.3V DC. This allows you to switch between different voltages depending on the requirements of your project.
  • Direct Connection to Breadboard: Some types of breadboard power supplies, such as the RobotDyn 5V/3.3V Breadboard Power Supply, are designed to connect directly to a breadboard's power rails, which simplifies matters and reduces the need for additional wires or connectors.
  • USB Output: The breadboard power supply can provide a regulated 5V USB output, which can be used to power other USB devices, such as an Arduino board.
  • On/Off Switches: The breadboard power supply has on/off switches that provide an easy way to connect and disconnect the power supplied by the module without having to disconnect any wires.
  • Short Circuit and Overheat Protection: The breadboard power supply is designed with safety in mind, and has short circuit and overheat protection to prevent damage to the circuit or the power supply itself.
  • Input Diode: The breadboard power supply has an input diode that protects the circuit from negative voltages or AC power supplies.
  • LED Power Indicator: The breadboard power supply has an LED power indicator to indicate whether the module is powered up or not. This helps to avoid accidental damage to the circuit due to incorrect wiring or power supply issues.

 

Description:

The breadboard power supply is an easy-to-use module designed to provide regulated voltage to the power rails on a breadboard. It's an incredibly helpful tool for quick and effective prototyping of microelectronic applications, and it's simple to utilize. The purpose of the breadboard power supply is to provide a breadboard with consistent power, which is essential for the proper functioning of electronic circuits. The RobotDyn 5V/3.3V Breadboard Power Supply is designed to simplify matters by being able to connect directly to a breadboard's power rails. This means that it can supply connections for Vcc and GND without the need for additional wires or connectors. The input of these power supplies is designed to be able to be down-regulated to supply its intended voltage and amperage levels, which ensures that the output voltage is consistent and stable. The breadboard power supply has more than one selectable power output. In the case of the RobotDyn 5V/3.3V Breadboard Power Supply, it uses a jumper to set between 5V DC, off, and 3.3V DC. This feature allows you to switch between different voltages depending on the requirements of your project. The on/off switches also provide an easy way to connect and disconnect the power supplied by the module without having to disconnect any wires, which makes prototyping even more efficient. Another useful feature of the breadboard power supply is its ability to power other USB devices. The RobotDyn 5V/3.3V Breadboard Power Supply, for example, has a regulated 5V USB output that can be used to power other USB devices, such as an Arduino board. This feature makes it a versatile tool that can be used for a variety of purposes. The module design of the breadboard power supply is in the form of a plug-in that connects to the breadboard. This design ensures that it's easy to use and doesn't require any additional wiring or soldering. The breadboard power supply is also designed with safety in mind, as it has short circuit and overheat protection, an input diode to protect a circuit from negative voltages or AC power supplies, and an LED power indicator to indicate whether the module is powered up or not.

 

Principle of Work:

The breadboard power supply works by providing regulated voltage to the power rails on a breadboard. It typically has an input voltage that is higher than the output voltage required by the circuit, which is then down-regulated to the appropriate voltage level using voltage regulators. The power supply can be connected to the breadboard via its plug-in design. Once connected, the power supply provides consistent power to the breadboard, which is essential for the proper functioning of electronic circuits. The breadboard power supply typically has selectable power outputs, which can be set using jumpers or switches. For example, if your project requires a voltage of 5V, you can set the jumper to 5V DC. If your project requires a voltage of 3.3V, you can set the jumper to 3.3V DC. In addition, the breadboard power supply may also have on/off switches, which provide an easy way to connect and disconnect the power supplied by the module without having to disconnect any wires. The breadboard power supply also has safety features such as short circuit and overheat protection, which prevents damage to the circuit or the power supply itself. An input diode is also included to protect the circuit from negative voltages or AC power supplies.
