💡 Introducing the Electronics-Salon 24/20-pin ATX DC Power Supply Breakout Board Module: Simplify Your Electronics Setup! Review

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…

Exactly what I needed! This allowed me to use the old PSU as a desktop PSU without having to cut the wires on the PSU itself. So if I need my power supply again, I can simply switch it off. After some fiddling and soldering, I removed the switch and LEDs from the board and connected them to the homemade panel. This smart little board made the process very easy. I didn't even have to connect a power resistor to force the load. Works great!

I have some old ATX power supplies that make a good desktop power supply. That's what I use the board for. I haven't started making the block yet, but it looks like the board is handling current loads on the copper traces on the PCB. The components on the board appear to be quality products. Very happy with the product and it was well packaged.

This little board will be incredibly useful for electronics and computer enthusiasts. exactly an extremely minor quibble: a pin is marked as "Not Connected". This pin refers to the -5V rail in the original ATX spec. It was dropped from the specification decades ago as motherboards largely phased out its use. As such, it is not used in any modern power supply. However, if you can find a very old power supply, you might still have that rail, and if you're running things like 5V op amps, you might

I'm having trouble getting ATX to work with a pull-up resistor and a power-on jumper. I connected it to the power supply, pressed the power button on the board, turned on the device. The power rails are big. It has a built-in load resistor. You just got a powerful power supply from any junk PC. worth your money. Requires UL listed DIN rail version.

I bought this to make a desktop PSU out of an old ATX PSU. The 24-pin connector goes straight into the connector, and then each connector is labeled on the edge with the voltage on that pin. So if I need the old PSU, I don't disconnect any connectors and can just unplug it from the breakout board to plug in the computer, or I can replace the ATX PSU by just plugging in the new PSU.

I love this adapter when I need a high current (15A) source. The traces are reinforced with solder along the traces on the back of the board to increase their current carrying capacity. Likewise, the terminals are very durable and I had no problem getting them to heat up. Having access to all the connections gives you a couple of terminals to run cables if, like me, the cable is too small to only handle 15A. I also like the little touches like a standby LED and power supply, and the presence of

meets with a connecting cable to power the ATX power supply :). Nicely made and I don't have to cut off the PS power connector. Use in conjunction with a buck converter connected to 12V. Now all I have to do is get a good case for the ATX PS, this breakout board and my buck converter with LED voltmeter.
