Hexsoon 40A PDB: Serious Power for Serious Builds

You’ve graduated from 5-inch park flyers, and now you’re building a beast. A rig with chunky motors that laugh at the tiny pads on an all-in-one flight controller. Stop trying to make a board designed for freestyle handle a heavy-lift hexacopter. The Hexsoon 40A PDB is the grown-up power distribution board your ambitious project demands, delivering a monstrous 40A continuous per motor, right here from our UK warehouse.

Why You Want It

This isn’t just about tidying up your wiring; it’s about reliability when you’ve got expensive gear in the air. This PDB is engineered on a thick, 4oz copper PCB to handle serious current without breaking a sweat. It provides two rock-solid, short-circuit tolerant BECs: a 5.3V line for your electronics and a 12V line for your FPV system. For builders in the ArduPilot ecosystem, the 5V BEC even shares the same connector definition as The Cube’s carrier board, saving you a world of custom cabling headaches. It’s the dependable core your pro build deserves.

Features and Highlights

• Monstrous Current Handling: A true 40A continuous / 50A peak rating for each of the six ESC outputs. It won’t just power your big motors; it’ll ask for more.
• Dual, Regulated BECs: Get a stable 5.3V (3A) for your FC and Rx, plus a clean 12V (2A) for your camera and VTX. No more video noise or brownouts.
• ‘The Cube’ Friendly: The 5V BEC connector is a drop-in match for The Cube’s carrier board, making integration seamless for high-end builds.
• Smart 12V Output: On 4S-6S LiPo, you get a solid 12V. On 3S, it intelligently provides battery voltage minus 1V, so your gear is never underpowered.

Specifications

*You get the board. The courage to solder those massive 10AWG battery leads onto it is something you have to find within yourself.

Still Here?

Alright, you’re clearly a pro builder if you’re dissecting the specs this closely. You know that a solid power distribution board is the foundation of any reliable ArduPilot or heavy-lift drone. This PDB has the amperage, the clean power, and t
