QuinLED-Data-Booster-Maxi Power Injection

Back to index page

One of the features of the QuinLED-Data-Booster-Maxi is that you can use it for power injection, for this purpose there are 2 M3 sized plated holes on the PCB, one for positive and one for negative.

These holes can be used to solder a thick wire directly to those holes or you can use fork/ring style crimp on connectors and some M3 screws and locking nuts to be able to power inject between LED strips without having to solder anything!

It is recommended to use the forks/rings on the bottom of the board which has clear spacing for it!

(Sizes to get relative to cable thickness: SV1.25-3 or SV2-3 or SV3.5-3, most often the SV2-3 gives the best fit!)
