Suggestion with DC Power jacks
-
Hi all,
I am designing a board and felt I would take your suggestions. The board I'm designing will be driving 8 seperate board that has 14 WS2812b RGB LED's on each board. So totally the controller board will drive 14x8 = 112 WS2812b LED's.
I've learnt from online sources that approximately these ws2812b led will draw 50mA at max. So by calculating the max current drawn is 5.6A and I also have an ESP32 with some other normal peripherals. So rounding it I thought of using a DC power jack that can tolerate 6A and supply voltage would be 12V.
Can anyone suggest me any plugs or jacks that are widely used and easy for integration? Help would be much appreciated.

What about JST Connectors?
-
@salmanfaris Does JST have such high power connectors?? It shouldn't be something like header connections. I need it to be like DC barrel connector kind of connectors. And that connector must not heat up even at 6A

Thes pins can handle 6A or more and easy to use and available local shops.
-
@salmanfaris yeah I've got suggestions like these from people but I'm making more professional product which will be implemented at offices and public places. So I need more like DC barrel plug in kind of thing.
-
How many connectors/terminal do you need? how frequently you need to disconnect and connect plug?
-
@salmanfaris I would need any connector like a barrel jack. The mating cycle per month is very low, something like 2 times it might be removed and connected. These devices will be powered on most time of the day.

@kowshik1729 Then go with a standard barrel jack, it can handle 6A.

Hi all,
I have made a custom board with Atmega328P SMD IC and now I am having a problem flashing it. I have flashed multiple chips like these earlier, however this time I am having a hard time figuring out the issue.
I am using Arduino UNO as an ISP programmer to burn bootloader but getting responses like Attempt 1 of 10 - stk500() is not responding etc., like that. I need some help regarding this issue.
Any kind of help will be greatly appreciated. Please ask me for any additional information that I might have not mentioned in this post.
Thanks in advance.

I have been facing this problem recently while I run the program the output terminal just shows scanned text and the android virtual device is not opening. I have reinstalled the SDK but the problem still persist.!

Hi, I was looking for a reliable carbon monoxide sensor, I tried the MQ7 sensor, but it has a preheat time of 48 hours and a sensitivity range from 20ppm-2000ppm, and my application requires 1ppm to 1000ppm. let me know if anyone working with a similar sensor or use case!
Update: Found that SPEC 3SP_CO_1000 Package 110-102 have 0 to 1,000 ppm sensitivity range and < 100 ppb reseultion, if anyone worked with the sensor let me know. Thanks.

@milanvarghese No, the battery comes into the play only if there is no power from the solar cell. It's like inverters in our home. They activate only if main power is gone, rest of the time they keep charging. similarly here the direct power will be coming from the solar cell, only if the solar cell can't produce enough voltage battery comes into the loop and starts providing voltage to our circuit.
