ARK 12S Payload Power Module
The ARK 12S Payload Power Module is rated for 100A continuous battery current at 20C ambient. It is recommended to run multiple power modules in parallel if more than 100A continuous current is required.
The board uses an INA238 digital power monitor with a 0.1mΩ shunt to measure voltage and current over I2C. A 5.2V 6A regulator outputs power to the avionics using a 6 pin Molex CLIK-Mate connector that matches the pinout on the ARK PAB Carriers. A 12V 6A regulator outputs power to payloads using a 4 pin Molex CLIK-Mate connector.
