Re: More than one power distribution board
We use this set of tools from WAGO -- they seem to work much better than a screwdriver and fit all connectors of this type used in FRC.

Re: More than one power distribution board
So everyone seems to generally like the big WAGO's on the PD board.
Does anyone else totally hate the little white ones? they're used for power to the cRio breakouts and the radio power out on the PD board. My electrical student has a really really hard time doing them, so usually I do all of them for her. |

The only Wago connection that I truly wish would go away is the one on the PDB's dedicated 5 volt output. I've never found a good tool to fit it. The best thing I've found so far is a scribe with a straight tip. |

Re: More than one power distribution board
The 2015 control system continues to use the larger Wago connectors on the PDB. Everything else uses tool-less push-in connectors from Weidmuller. These are the same connectors used on the 2CAN. They require a little practice to get the wire stripped to the correct length, and the wire must fairly straight (too many insertions and removals may require starting over).

Re: More than one power distribution board
Glad to help!
First hit shows the interesting product line from Linear First hit shows the interesting product line from Infineon More specifically, the LTC4364 and IPT004N03L are attractive. EDIT: And for the low-current channels, TI makes a pretty great device. Last edited by zbrozek : 31-01-2014 at 12:42. |

Re: More than one power distribution board
This thread has wandered a good bit from the OP's question which was:

Since the PD was modified, and connected to a circuit breaker, it was considered a custom circuit, and therefore legal. (yes, we did get re-inspected). |
