4.2.7 Recommended Wire Gauge

  • Input VIN and GND to J2 and J3 (GND) (12-V input) – The recommended wire size is AWG #12, with the total length of wire less than two feet (1-feet input, 1-feet return).
  • Output J8/J7 and GND J10/J11 (0.9-V output) – The minimum recommended wire size is AWG #10, with the total length of wire less than two feet (1-feet output, 1-feet return).
