<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>How many amps can the x820 pass to attached devices using the 5v USB and two 5v pin headers?<br /> <br /> <br /> I&#039;m reusing my x820 in a new project with a hat that needs quite a bit of power. I&#039;ve sourced a new 5v@10a 5.5x2.5 power supply and I&#039;m trying to decide how I should wire things...<br /> <br /> 1) is there anything on the x820 that&#039;s going to see 10 amps and get damaged?<br /> <br /> 2) I believe the 5v USB is capped at 2a, is this true? <br /> <br /> 3) do the 5v pin headers have an amp cap?<br /> <br /> 4) is the 2 amp shared between USB and pins?<br /> <br /> 5) is my better bet to use a screw terminal-to-5.5x2.5 adapter and give each component its own direct feed?{{DISPLAYTITLE:<br /> 5v header passthrough current?<br /> }}</div>
