Holybro - PM06D Power Module 14S
by Holybro

The Holybro PM06D Power Module 14S (SKU: 15020) is a high-voltage digital power supply and integrated power distribution board engineered specifically for autonomous UAVs operating Pixhawk 5X and Pixhawk 6X flight controllers. Designed to replace analog power modules, the PM06D utilizes an onboard high-resolution Texas Instruments INA228 monitor that measures battery voltage and current consumption up to 327A, transmitting telemetry directly to the autopilot over a digital I2C bus. This digital architecture eliminates analog signal degradation across long wiring runs and removes the requirement for manual voltage divider or amperage-per-volt calibration in PX4 or ArduPilot ground control stations.

Operating across a wide 2S to 14S LiPo input spectrum (up to ~60V DC), the PM06D features an onboard step-down switching regulator that supplies a continuous, noise-filtered 5.2V at up to 3.0A to the flight controller via a locking Molex 2.00mm pitch CLIK-Mate 6-pin interface. Built onto a standard 30.5 x 30.5mm mounting pattern, the board integrates corner solder pads for direct multirotor ESC power distribution, a factory-soldered 14AWG power lead with an XT60 connector, and an onboard filter capacitor to suppress voltage ripple.

Key Features

• High-Voltage 2S–14S LiPo Operation: Supports high-voltage battery configurations up to 14S LiPo, accommodating heavy-lift, long-endurance, and commercial drone power systems.

• I2C Digital Telemetry Interface: Delivers pre-calibrated digital current and voltage data to Pixhawk 5X/6X autopilots without analog signal noise or manual parameter tuning.

• High-Current Sensing up to 327A: Integrated digital monitor accurately tracks system current draw up to 327A across high-throttle operations.

• Integrated ESC Power Distribution: Heavy copper PCB traces provide four pairs of corner power solder pads rated for 70A continuous and 120A burst.

• Regulated 5.2V / 3A Autopilot Output: Onboard switching BEC delivers stable 5.2V power rated for up to 3.0A through a secure Molex CLIK-Mate connection.

• Pre-Assembled Power Hardware: Arrives factory-soldered with a low-ESR electrolytic capacitor and 14AWG silicone wiring terminated in an XT60 plug.

• Compact 30.5 x 30.5mm Mounting: Fits standard drone electronics stacks and airframe bays, weighing just 24.5 grams.
