Get Pi power from 3 to 16V with a SHIM! This Wide Input SHIM gives you the ability to use a range of different power supplies with you Raspberry Pi, including the ubiquitous 12V barrel jack power supplies. The super-slim design of the SHIM means you can solder it straight to your Pi's pins yet still use HATs and pHATs on top. The SHIM will provide a 5V 2A output (through the GPIO to the Pi) at input voltages of 5V to 16V. Current drops to 1.5A at 4V, and 1A at 3V. For input voltages there is either a centre positive 3.5mm jack connector or two broken-out + and - pins on the SHIM. There is also a short male to female adaptor cable included so that you can use the common 5.5mm jacks too. Also included is a 3.5mm male to tinned wires cable, so you can attach it directly to, for example, a bench power supply, or to solder it into a project. |
