ATX Workbench DC Power Splitter & fuses & 24 Minifit JR & Bannana Plug

thingiverse

Electronics enthusiasts rejoice with this innovative ATX power supply splitter! This clever tool is designed to be attached directly on top of a regular ATX PSU, building upon previous designs to create a more universal solution for those who only need standard ATX voltages. Key modifications include replacing the 24V and 15V rails with -5V and -12V, swapping out the high-power 24V rail for two robust 12V rails, and upgrading the AC switch to a common pole switch (7.5mm hole). The font size has been increased from 3.5 to 5mm for added clarity. The primary goal of this design is to create a stable and reliable stationary PSU with universal plugs, perfect for powering projects that don't require monitoring. This splitter boasts an impressive array of features: * A PSU status LED * An on/off switch * Status LEDs for all voltages * Fuse protection for every voltage level * Convenient banana plug connectors for easy prototyping * High-current 12V rails with options for 20A (4p MiniFit JR) or 30A (6p MiniFit JR) - simply ask if you need 8p rails! Each component is carefully assembled in SolidWorks to ensure a compact design, using parts sourced from electronics scrap or affordable Chinese suppliers. To find the MiniFit JR male housings and pins, simply search "minifit jr." Alternatively, you can salvage connectors from old motherboards using a heat airgun. However, for efficient work with Minifit JR connectors, it's recommended to invest in a tool and extractor set. These connectors are likely the most common medium-power plugs used in DC applications.
