High Current Output
 Capable of delivering up to 70 A at 12 V DC, this supply easily powers demanding loads.
Affordable
 Widely available on eBay for around $40–$60, they offer unbeatable value compared to retail bench supplies.
Intelligent and Robust
 Built-in firmware provides protection and control, ensuring safe operation under heavy use.
Scalable Power
 Multiple units can be connected in parallel, supplying hundreds of amps with automatic current-sharing mode for balanced load distribution.
Adjustable Voltage
 Output can be fine-tuned between 12.2 V and 13.5 V, making it versatile for various applications.
Optional Delayed Start
 A simple modification allows you to incorporate a power-on delay, useful for staged system startups.
Many people attempt to solder wires directly onto the output pads of the LT1100A-S0. While this might work temporarily, it’s a bad idea:
The pads are not designed for mechanical stress and can lift or peel off the circuit board, permanently damaging the supply.
Adding standard connectors to the pads often chokes current flow, limiting the supply’s true capability.
The Better Way
Instead of soldering directly, the recommended approach is to use the factory edge connector. By designing or purchasing a breakout board that mates with the supply’s connector, you:
Maintain the full current-handling capability of the supply.
Avoid stressing or damaging the PCB pads.
Gain clean, reliable terminals for distributing power to your project.
This small step greatly improves both the safety and longevity of your setup.
The custom breakout board is designed with multiple connection and configuration options, giving you flexibility depending on your application. The board includes ¼" power posts (up to four total — 2 × 12 V and 2 × GND) for high-current connections.
You can mix and match any of the following features:
Fixed Voltage Output
 Provides a stable, non-adjustable 12 V output.
Variable Voltage Output
 Adjustable from 12.2 V to 13.5 V.
 Note: Some LT1100A-S0 models restrict the adjustment range slightly.
Delayed Start
 Power-on delay adjustable from 1 second up to 2 minutes, useful for staged or sequential system startup.
Current Share Mode
 By tying the current share bus lines together, multiple PSUs can run in parallel and intelligently balance the load between them.

Q: What is the LT1100A-S0 power supply used for?
 A: The LT1100A-S0 is a 1100W server PSU that delivers up to 70A at 12V DC. Hobbyists use it for motion simulators, RC battery charging, car audio, and other high-current 12V applications.
Q: Can I adjust the voltage on the LT1100A-S0?
 A: Yes, most models allow adjustment from 12.2V to 13.5V. Some units may have a more limited range.
Q: Can multiple LT1100A-S0 power supplies be connected in parallel?
 A: Yes, the supplies support current-share mode. By tying the current share pins together, you can safely run multiple units in parallel to deliver hundreds of amps.
Q: Is it safe to solder wires directly to the output pads?
 A: No. The pads can lift off and get damaged. It’s better to use the edge connector with a breakout board, which preserves full current capacity.
Q: Does the LT1100A-S0 support delayed start?
 A: Yes. With a simple circuit, the power-on delay can be adjusted from 1 second up to 2 minutes, which helps when sequencing multiple supplies.
