EC5 Connector to IEC Cutout Pico PSU 12v by robertmaks

Last crawled date: 4 years, 1 month ago

This is a simple and clean design that let's you take out the IEC connector for an AC input and replace it with this adapter to let you take a regular EC5 connector for hobby batteries and glue the connector in this adapter (As shown in the pictures) so that a Pico PSU has a neat way and reliable way of getting power from a 12 volt source like a Lead Acid battery or a 3s Lipo or even in my case a old 12v Dell PSU for an micro-itx build. I don't trust that little barrel connector Pico PSUs come with because really 5 amps is tops but they pull way beyond that, I'm also pretty sure that it would just eventually unplug itself someday being a small and being an un-tight fit in the connector and really piss me off.
I know that the connector is overkill; the whole point is to make a reliable and somewhat trip over a cord and not get pulled out of the connector kinda deal.
