2.1.7 Recommended Wire Gauge

  • Input connection to the VIN and PGND terminal blocks (T2 and T3) — The recommended wire size is AWG #12 with the total length of wire less than two feet (1-foot input, 1-foot return).
  • Output load connection to the VOUT, and PGND terminal blocks (T4 and T5) — The minimum recommended wire size is AWG #10 with the total length of wire less than two feet (1-foot output, 1-foot return). A thicker wire gauge can be required to minimize the voltage drop in the wires.
