The Slink-e takes 9 volt unregulated DC power and draws up to 600 mA. Supply the power via the power connector, which is a standard coaxial power jack, 5.5mm O.D., 2.5mm I.D. center positive.
The Slink-e comes with a wall transformer that serves the purpose if you have a 110/120VAC 60 Hz North American power receptacle.
Internally, the Slink-e regulates this to 5 volts for most purposes. But the Slink-e powers IR transmitters directly from its main power supply.
The Xantech IR port connectors have a wire for 12 volt power. The Slink-e neither powers this line nor draws power from it. So be sure you power the Xantech bus (if you use it) separately. Remember that the Xantech protocol requires regulated 12 volts.
The Slink-e supplies both its raw 9 volt unregulated power and regulated 5 volt power on the Slink-e's expansion connector, as described in the following table.
| Pin | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | +9V | 9 volt 100 mA unregulated power supply |
| 17 | +5V | 5 volt 50 mA regulated power supply |
| 18 | GND | ground |
