Matek Servo PDB, w/ 12A BEC 9-55V to 5/6/8V
by Matek Systems

The Matek SVPDB-12S is a high-efficiency servo power distribution board designed for RC airplanes, UAVs, and FPV aircraft requiring a stable and powerful BEC for servo operation. With an input range of 9V to 55V, this board provides an adjustable 5V, 6V, or 8V output (default 5V) and delivers up to 12A continuous current with a peak of 20A, ensuring reliable servo performance.

Built with a synchronous switching step-down regulator, the SVPDB-12S offers an efficiency of 88% to 96%, minimizing heat generation and power loss. Features include thermal shutdown, overcurrent protection with self-recovery, and output short-circuit tolerance. Ideal for flight controllers without dedicated servo BECs, this board reduces voltage drops and circuit losses in large-scale RC aircraft.
