SwiftWing PDB02 – 3S–6S Direct Power Distribution Board

The SwiftWing PDB02 is a high-current 3S–6S Direct Power Distribution Board designed for multirotor and UAV platforms that use external BECs or ESC-integrated regulators. Unlike regulated PDB variants, this board provides a clean direct battery bus for high-power builds requiring simplified power routing.

Built on a 4-layer 2oz copper PCB with optimized power planes, the PDB02 is engineered for low voltage drop and stable high-current ESC distribution.

High-Current Direct Battery Bus

This 3S–6S Direct Power Distribution Board is designed to handle high ESC current loads while maintaining compact 50 mm × 50 mm dimensions.

Key characteristics:

• Direct battery-to-ESC routing

• No onboard voltage regulation

• Optimized copper planes for high current

• Minimal electrical complexity

For builds requiring onboard 5V and 12V regulation, see our 3S–6S 120A Power Distribution Board with BEC.

Direct Wire and Connector Flexibility

Battery and ESC outputs are provided as solder pads, allowing:

• Direct heavy-gauge wire soldering

• XT60, XT90, or custom connector selection

• Flexible power architecture

Because this is a direct power distribution board, total system current capability depends on:

• External battery connector

• Wire gauge

• Cooling conditions

• Load distribution

Why Choose a Direct Power Distribution Board?

A 3S–6S Direct Power Distribution Board is preferred when:

• ESCs already include BEC outputs

• Custom regulator configuration is required

• High-current simplicity is desired

• Reduced component count is beneficial

This makes the SwiftWing PDB02 a versatile solution for high-performance drone systems.
