Description

The PM03D is a dedicated power management module engineered for advanced UAV platforms using the Pixhawk 5X or 6X flight controller series. It delivers clean, regulated power to all critical systems while providing precise, digital current and voltage telemetry via an I2C interface. This eliminates analog signal noise and ensures accurate battery consumption data for mission planning and failsafe triggers.

Its robust design incorporates high-efficiency switching regulators to supply stable 5.2V for flight controllers and low-power peripherals, alongside a configurable higher-voltage rail for demanding payloads like gimbals or spotlights. The module’s layout includes pre-installed XT-30 connectors and solder pads for flexible integration, catering to both plug-and-play and custom wired builds.

Key Features

  • Digital I2C Power Monitoring: Provides accurate, noise-resistant current and voltage telemetry data directly to compatible Pixhawk flight controllers.
  • High-Current Power Distribution: Features a 60A continuous / 120A peak rating, suitable for demanding multirotor and VTOL applications.
  • Multi-Voltage Regulated Outputs: Integrates two independent 5.2V BECs and one Jumper-selectable 8V or 12V output for versatile peripheral power.
  • Pixhawk 5X/6X Exclusive Compatibility: Designed specifically for the digital power monitor input on these flight controllers; not compatible with analog-based units.
  • Pre-installed Connectors: Includes XT-30 connectors for battery and ESC connections, simplifying the wiring harness.
  • Comprehensive Connectivity: Comes with a CLIK-Mate cable for the flight controller and various adapter cables for companion computers and external power sources.

Applications

  • Power distribution and monitoring for Holybro X500 V2 and similar large multirotor platforms.
  • Integration into custom VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) or heavy-lift drones requiring precise power telemetry.
  • Advanced UAV builds utilizing Pixhawk 5X or 6X flight controllers for autonomous missions and payload operation.
  • Providing clean, regulated power for companion computers (e.g., Raspberry Pi), gimbals, or FPV systems on survey and inspection drones.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Holybro PM03D compatible with my Pixhawk 4 flight controller?

No, the PM03D is not compatible. It uses a digital I2C communication protocol specifically designed for the Pixhawk 5X and 6X series flight controllers. The Pixhawk 4, Pixhawk 6C/Mini, pix32 v5, and Durandal use an analog power monitor input and are not supported by this module.

What is the maximum input voltage and current this power module can handle?

The PM03D is rated for a 6S LiPo battery input (up to ~25.2V). It can handle a continuous current of 60 Amps, with a peak capability of 120 Amps for bursts under 60 seconds. Ensure your ESCs and motor setup operate within these limits.

How do I configure the selectable 8V or 12V output on the PM03D?

The selectable 8V or 12V output is configured via a Jumper or solder bridge on the PM03D board itself. Refer to the Holybro documentation or the silkscreen on the PCB to locate the configuration pads and set your desired output voltage before connecting any peripherals.

Does this module come with the XT-30 connectors pre-soldered?

This specific SKU is listed as 'Without XT30 Pre-soldered.' The package includes the pre-formed XT-30 connector wire, but you will need to solder it to the designated pads on the PM03D board yourself. Other necessary cables and capacitors are pre-installed.

Package Includes

  • 1x PM03D Power Module Board
  • 1x 80mm XT30 Connector Wire (Pre-soldered)
  • 1x Electrolytic Capacitor: 220uF 63V (Pre-soldered)
  • 1x 2.0mm Pitch CLIK-Mate 6-pin Cable (for flight controller)
  • 1x 4-pin JST GH to USB Type C Cable
  • 1x 4-pin JST GH to Barrel Plug (2.1*5.5mm)
  • 1x 4-pin JST GH to Barrel Plug (2.5*5.5mm)
  • 2x 3-pin Pin Dupont Cables
  • 1x Set of Nylon Standoffs & Nuts
