DF Robot Wireless Charging Module - 5V 5A

When it comes to powering various Electronics, modules and devices around the office or home, we’ve become rather complacent with the idea that electronics typically require wires and cabling to deliver the power they need to operate. However, with the recent rise of wireless charging in both the professional as well as hobbyist realms, we’re seeing more and more wireless transmission modules come to the market, and this excites us, because it means we finally get to use wireless power transmission in meaningful ways that matter to us Makers, rather than just relying on the proprietary tech’ that’s already preinstalled in just a few select devices.

This awesome 5V 5A Wireless Charging Module is a relatively beefy wireless power transmission module from the ever-famous DFRobot Brand, and takes in a 24V DC input to output a powerful 5V 5A for a wide range of cool applications. Compared to previous hobbyist-grade wireless transmission modules, these units are far more powerful, and therefore open up many more possibilities for using it for cool projects, and rather than just a minor 5V 1A output that can be used for basic Arduino Boards and a handful of LEDs, these units are ready to deliver for very power-hungry devices and modules, such as the 5V 3A Raspberry Pi 4 Boards, the 5V 4A NVIDIA Jetson Nano, or even up to thirteen metres of 60/m RGB LED Strip, which is surprisingly impressive if you know the actual power consumption of LED Strips.

Of course, while we like to label these as “Wireless Charging Modules” due to their widespread popularity for charging mobile devices and accessories, the truth is that these are actually wireless power transmission modules. As such, whether you want to use these for Charging purposes or simply as a more convenient and safer way to power your projects, they are more than just ready to offer the power your projects need, and furthermore with a 65mm transmission distance through all kinds of non-ferrous materials, you could even discretely install your “Power Supply” underneath your desk, tucked below your mousepad, or even on the other side of a glass panel depending on how you want your project’s functionality and aesthetics to be.

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

While it’s easy to simply be complacent and consider cables to be “just fine” for electronics and other power applications, it’s hard to deny the amazing convenience that wireless charging is ready to offer. However, in addition to convenience, wireless charging also offers the extra benefit of a longer lifespan for electronics and devices due to the fact that it eliminates the need to plug and unplug a cable repeatedly. This, while not really noticeable for a long while, often results in charging ports not working properly after a while, as well as other minor faults along the way as terminals start wearing out, corroding, and possibly even sparking or heating up beyond what they should be capable of. As such, while most people look at wireless charging and simply enjoy the convenience that it offers, we Makers know that it’s about more than just that, and we’re ready to take full advantage of anything that lets our projects, devices, modules and other electronics enjoy a longer, happier life in service.
