Frequently Asked Questions:

Q1. What is the purpose of the 5.35V output on this Mauch BEC, as opposed to a standard 5.0V?

Ans. The 5.35V output is a deliberate design choice by Mauch to ensure that sensitive flight controller components receive a robust and consistent 5.0V even after experiencing slight voltage drops across wiring and connectors. This slight overvoltage compensates for resistance in the wiring, preventing brownouts and ensuring stable operation of your autopilot and connected peripherals.

Q2. Which flight controllers are compatible with the DF-13-4P connector on this BEC?

Ans. The DF-13-4P connector is commonly found on various flight controllers, particularly older versions of popular open-source autopilots. Examples include certain generations of the Pixhawk (e.g., Pixhawk 1, Pixhawk 2.1 depending on specific port usage) and APM boards, which use this connector for their power module input or dedicated 5V BEC input. Always verify your flight controller's documentation for port compatibility.

Q3. Can this Mauch 082 BEC be used to power other 5V peripherals in addition to the flight controller?

Ans. While this BEC provides 3A of current, which might be sufficient for a flight controller and a few small, low-power 5V peripherals (like a GPS module or receiver), it's primarily designed for dedicated flight controller power. If you have many 5V accessories or high-current 5V devices, it's advisable to use additional BECs or a power distribution board with multiple regulated outputs to avoid overloading this BEC and ensure stable power for all components.
