Review on πŸ’‘ Introducing the Electronics-Salon 24/20-pin ATX DC Power Supply Breakout Board Module: Simplify Your Electronics Setup! by Travis Smith

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works perfectly! Easy to use!

I am using one of these boards to power a peltier thermoelectric cooler and so far it has worked great and is very easy to use. I look forward to using this on a number of future projects. Pros: They weren't kidding about the 24 amp rating, both the screw terminals and the bonding solder on the bottom seem to be more than enough to handle 24 amp loads. In general the board is very good. designed and easy to use. Cons: No standoffs are supplied, and the connections on the bottom of the unit are mostly thick, exposed solder lines that can be shorted out if left directly on a conductive surface. This isn't so much a criticism of the product itself (probably there isn't a better way to avoid this problem), but rather anyone looking to buy should know that you need to support the board in some way, so the contacts on the underside don't come along of the conductive surface (in my case I just 3D printed a simple cover for it, which solved the problem). Suggestions to the manufacturer: It would be nice if there was a version of this (or possibly a separate, standalone product) that also had connectors for PCI-E power and/or Molex/SATA power. For my use I mostly need 12V connectors, but the standard 24 pin ATX connector only has two. Overall a great product and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who needs an easy to use ATX power supply.
