MATEKSYS PDB-HEX 2-12S Board

The MATEKSYS PDB-HEX is a heavy-duty power distribution board engineered for demanding macro builds, heavy-lift hexacopters, and X-Class drones. Supporting a 2-12S input voltage range, it distributes main battery power to your ESCs while providing regulated voltage for flight controllers, video transmitters, and peripherals via its integrated BEC.

Key features

• Current-sense resistor rated 140A continuous / 264A burst, with ESC power pads rated 60A continuous / 100A burst each.
• Six ESC power/signal/telemetry pads on a JST-SH-8P connector, wired for INAV/Betaflight current-scale or ArduPilot BATT_AMP_PERVLT readout.
• Selectable BEC output — 5V at a continuous 5A by default, or bridge a jumper for 9V or 12V at up to 4A continuous.
• Dual 30.5 x 30.5mm and 20 x 20mm mounting patterns fit both hexacopter and standard quad stacks.

Specifications

• Input voltage: 2-12S LiPo (6-60V)
• Current sensor: 140A cont / 264A burst
• ESC power pads: 60A cont / 100A burst
• BEC output: 5V (default) / 9V / 12V, selectable
• Mounting: 30.5 x 30.5mm, 20 x 20mm
• Dimensions: 49 x 40 x 6mm

Includes a Rubycon 63V 390µF capacitor and JST-SH1.0 8-pin cable and connectors — a solid foundation for custom agricultural drones, large-scale cinelifters, or hexacopter builds where standard quad PDBs lack the voltage ceiling or ESC pad count.
