Wireless Charging Module - 5V 2A

Wireless power transfer, while still being super awesome and fun to play around with, has become somewhat commonplace in our modern world, with most modern mobile devices now supporting advanced Wireless Charging protocols so that you don’t even have to plug them in anymore to keep them charged. However, these types of modules have always been quite tough to get until quite recently, and while we could enjoy it through other devices, we Makers simply felt left out without any easy modules to let us experiment and explore the world of magnetic power transfer.

Fortunately, this is no longer the case as wireless power modules are becoming a popular tool for Makers throughout the world, opening up awesome opportunities for creating truly unique and exciting projects that don’t need any visible Connectors & Wiring, but instead just activate and provide the power your projects need when the coils are aligned. This is why we have gotten so exciting with these 5V 2A Wireless Charging Modules, which are fantastic wireless power transmission tools from DFRobot that utilise magnetic resonance coupling to take a 12V input and provide a beefy 5V 2A output on the other coil. This means that you can finally remove those pesky power cables from your favourite projects, allowing you to power microcontrollers, LED Strips, discrete sensor projects, or pretty much any other Electronics you need in a sleek and stylish way, and without ever having to plug them in before using them.

Typical Applications for these 5V 2A Wireless Charging Modules:

Although we would love to tell you that these 5V 2A Wireless Charging Modules can be used for any and every project you’ve got on the go, the truth is that these are somewhat limited by the fact that they aren’t very good at transmitting signals between the coils, as well as the 5V 2A max rating that the receiver is capable of outputting. However, for any projects that simply need power, and for those that operate on 5V 2A or less, these wireless power modules are amazing at what they do. And while some Makers love to use these Modules for powering up their projects without any visible wiring – resulting in a beautifully neat and tidy desk – others tend to take a more adventurous route, producing fun projects like pedestal-activated egg-timers, lighting that turns on when placed in just the right spot, as well as other projects that take advantage of the “Magical” effect that wireless power transfer can offer.

As self-proclaimed “Robo-holics”, DFRobot is a company comprised of over 100 staff members, of which 30% are engineers who love to build robots. It was started in 2008 with the goal of embracing and promoting open-source hardware, with a core focus on Arduino, Raspberry Pi and their very own LattePanda development boards. Since then, DFRobot have manufactured over 1300 unique modules, sensors and components that all work together and complement each other, allowing users like us to enjoy a full spectrum of cutting edge robotics and electronics without having to pay premium prices.

With the primary goal of developing and manufacturing great quality products, while making them accessible to as many people as possible, DFRobot are rapidly becoming one of the most common-place brands in the world of open-source robotics and electronics. With more than 1300 products developed in-house, and an impressive range of different categories and specialisations, there are few brands in the world who can compete in terms of quality, accessibility and genuine innovation.
