5i5MYBE - What size DC Power Jack do I Need?

spyderdyne Dec 29, 2016 5:53 PM

I won the Intel OSIC Big Bounties for Big Ideas contest in May and received my prize. An Intel NUC Mini rack of 4X 5i5MYBE blades. Unfortunately they didn't come in boxes, with power adapters, etc. and are standalone. I need to know what size/where to get the DC Power jacks to power these blades without having to buy 4X 6 5W AC power adapters that I will just be cutting the connectors off of anyway. You can refer to my project documentation here for details, but I just need 4 power jacks to send 19V power to these units from my PSU.

Thanks.

Hello spyderdyne,

I would like to check, what you want to achieve is a single power adapter to supply power to all the boards at the same time? Or get power adapters for each of the boards?

James,

The information you need is provided in section 2.2.4.3 (page 58) of the Technical Product Specification (TPS) for the MY board. Here is a link to download this document: NUC5i5MYBE TPS.

As it indicates, you can power the boards two different ways, via the external PSU connector or via the internal PSU connector. In your case, I would think that the internal connectors make more sense...

Hope this helps,

I found a retailer for those HERE.

I just ordered them. Once they arrive I will update.

These are about 5mm longer than they need to be and are not the ones from the image on the vendor's website, but they will do nicely. It doesn't seem to matter aesthetically since nothing is really in a true enclosure anyway.

Final Answer:

Tell the vendor you prefer them around 8mm long, not the 13.25mm ones. Either will work though.

I am about to solder the new power connectors now that I have the rack completed. I thought I would share.
