The AllPixel PowerTap is a tiny accessory board (under 1" square) that simplifies power injection on long runs of LEDs. When running long LED strips, voltage drops can cause dimming and colour inconsistency — the PowerTap lets you easily inject power at regular intervals with a quick connect/disconnect barrel jack port.
Key Features
- 2.1mm DC Barrel Jack – Accepts 5–12V at up to 5A for easy power injection
- 0.1" Screw Terminals – Input and output terminals carry data, clock, and ground through to the next LED section
- 1000µF Capacitor – Smooths out power fluctuations for stable LED operation
- Compact Design – Less than 1" square, fits inline between LED strip sections
Ideal For
- Long LED strip installations requiring power injection every 5m or 5A
- Addressable LED projects with WS2812, APA102, or similar strips
- AllPixel-based LED setups
Package Contents
- 1× PowerTap PCB
- 1× 2.1mm DC barrel jack
- 2× 0.1" screw terminals
- 1× 1000µF capacitor
Note: Basic soldering skills required to assemble this kit. It is recommended to inject power every 5m or 5A, whichever comes first.
Resources
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- DC barrel jack
- A round power connector commonly used for low-voltage DC power supplies, often described by its outer and inner diameters such as 5.5 x 2.1 mm. Matching the barrel size and polarity is important so the plug physically fits and powers the device correctly.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
