QuinLED Diff-Adv Power Handling Guide
Receiver-Midpoint-1
Back to QuinLED-Diff-Adv main page
Some quick notes:
- As is the case with most LED controller boards, input voltage = output voltage so select your power supply to have the same voltage as the LEDs you are going to run.
- Sender boards and Receiver board do not share power and thus can be used with either the same power supply or two totally separate ones, running different voltages, etc..
- The board supports 5v up to 48v with automatic detection (no jumpers required)
Power Handling capabilities
The QuinLED Diff-Adv Receiver-Midpoint-1 has a 2p orange power input terminals that accept power into the board. Then power travels through a onboard fuse (with broken fuse indicator!) before continuing to the output terminals. This whole path has been rated for up to 10A max total current.
If you require more it’s recommended to upgrade to the Receiver-Midpoint-2 which can handle more current.
Soldered fuse + socket
The board comes delivered with a soldered on 5A fuse and an empty fuse socket on the board. The reason for this is because the soldered on fuse has a lower resistance then one in the socket.
The reason for the 5A fuse is because generally this board will be used with a single power injection and thus not exceed the 5A rating and then having the lower value fuse is better vs having a too high rated fuse on the board.
As stated above you are allowed to run up to 10A through the board but you’d have to de-solder the fuse first to replace it. You can do so using the socket or by soldering it on the board as a replacement. Neither voids warranty unless other damage is done to the board. It is not recommended using a higher then 10A rated fuse.
