Raspberry pi powersupply change from micro usb to dc power plug

Former Member

Hi!

As topic suggests I want to change the powerconnection from the flimsy micro usb to a sturdy dc power plug.

Is this doable?

 

I was thinking something in the line of DC kontakt 2,5 mm chassi > DC-kontakter | Kjell.com

 

Thanks in advance

  • Not on the board since you have no provision for it there.

    You could however have make a micro USB to DC socket fly lead to do this.

    Easiest way to do this would be to get a micro USB lead cut off the unused end and solder the power connections on to the DC socket.

     

    Personally I wouldn't bother unless you have a specific reason the micro USB is pretty tough after all it's what phones use every day for years on end!

    Thanks for the fast reply.
    The reason i want to change the connector is that i'm planning on building the pi into an old genesis/mega drive. And i'm afraid that moving the console will break the power supply.

    Also it looks more authentic =)
