Can the LED Adapter handle 6A?

[blinkstick_com_k]

It’s just the jack that’s only rated at 4A, right? The rest should handle 6A, no?

Welcome to the forums!
What do you mean with “the rest”? The adapter can handle 4A and not more than that.

The announcing post read:

“The LED adapter boards are rated 50A on 40V”
“Standard 2.1 mm power socket rated for 4A”

Coming soon: BlinkStick Pro LED adapter

[image] This board is designed to directly connect BlinkStick Pro and basic common anode RGB LED strips. The LED adapter boards are rated 50A on 40V so they should be more than sufficient for general usage. Each board is pre-assembled and comes with the following features: Standard 2.1 mm power socket rated for 4A Screw terminals for easy connection of the LED strip Inter connect terminal to BlinkStick Pro [image] Release date: December 1st 2014

So I thought maybe I can get away with directly soldering on my cable after removing the jack.

cheers,

You could leave the jack and solder wires directly on the jack pins to supply power for LEDs. MOSFETs can handle a lot of amps and the board will safely support 6A.

OK, now I know what you mean and you already have the clear answer from Arvy
