MD5 Power capability

Neil Skoog 2 months ago in Master modules / MD5 updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 1 month ago 5 1 duplicate

How current can I draw out pins 56 (bat+) and 29 (bat-) if I am using pins 42(bat+) and 43 (bat-) for the input power. I need to power 2 each IQAN sv120 cameras.

On MD5 Display's the +Bat and -Bat have double pin, as double pins for the CAN -A, -B, -C which makes is possible to route the CAN busses

The +Bat connection needs to be fused with max 20 A, however the maximum power consumption of MD5 display units will be below 1 A.  You may use the extra  +Bat and -Bat pins for secundairy power supply (use external diodes) or to power auxiliary devises, but keep current draw limited within latest MD5 Instruction book specifications!

The limiting factor is the current rating on the Molex MX64 terminals. 

It depends on the grip size you specify but it is around 10 A.

The traces for +BAT and -BAT inside the MD5 are rated higher, more than 20 A. 

The MD5 itself will draw about 0.5 - 1 A (depending on supply voltage) 

Each SV will draw about 0.1 A

Thank you for your response. I anticipate the camera power will be less than 250 ma.
