Befaco - Pedal Pow (1U)
Product information "Befaco - Pedal Pow (1U)"
Pedal POW converts your Eurorack +12 V rail to clean 9 V pedal power while sharing the available energy with your modular synth. Because Pedal POW depends on your Eurorack power supply, its total available power cannot exceed what your Eurorack PSU can provide. Make sure your Eurorack power supply has enough headroom to run all installed modules plus anything you connect to Pedal POW.
Each Pedal POW output can supply a maximum of 500 mA. Keep in mind the conversion draw: every 1 mA delivered by Pedal POW draws approximately 0.8 mA from the +12 V rail. For example, to deliver the full 500 mA on one output you must provide 500 mA × 0.8 = 400 mA from the +12 V rail. If both outputs are used at their maximum, the pedals would draw 500 mA + 500 mA = 1000 mA, which corresponds to 1000 mA × 0.8 = 800 mA from your +12 V bus.
Before connecting multiple high-current pedals, verify your Eurorack power budget and factor in the Pedal POW conversion rate. Use the product’s reference table or this conversion rule (1 mA at Pedal POW ≈ 0.8 mA from +12 V) to quickly calculate how much current you need from your Eurorack supply so you can avoid overloading the system and keep your rig stable.
Features:
• 1U Intellijel format
• Dual power supply with two isolated outputs, each providing 500 mA
• Center negative (-) polarity

Befaco is an Eurorack manufacturer that also offers DIY kits, organizes workshops and releases their designs under Creative Commons license.
In February 2010 Befaco was created as an open hardware platform focusing on professional DIY musical hardware, materializing the previous electronic, musical and artistic research of its members.
Our main activity has been developing synthesizer modules in eurorack
format and making them available in workshops. All this research is
published under CC-NC-SA License, so people can download the schematics,
and technical assembly guides, to make their own variations of the
projects for personal and educative purposes. Also build all our designs
during our regular workshops in cities as Barcelona, Madrid, London or
Berlin.
During the past twelve years, apart of these regular four
cities, we have visited cities as Tokyo, Kyoto, Toronto, Montreal,
Chicago, Frankfurt, Helsinki, Lyon, Stuttgart and Amsterdam, amongst
many other European cities.
These workshops are a huge test playground where we can track each module being built by different worldwide users, get direct feedback and quickly improve them with, develop new ones, or adapt these instruments to users demands constantly.
Direct contact with DIY enthusiasts allows an implication of users in the structure, allowing them to design their own modules and develop them in a professional way. This has developed into an incubation environment for several new modular initiatives, allowing different makers to start their own similar projects.
Befaco initiative is possible thanks to the support of Hangar, an artistic production centre in Barcelona, Barcelona city hall and the titanic work by the whole Befaco team.
