Hi,
Since this board supplies 5V/5A, I thought it would be a good idea to use it to power a Jetson Nano board through a Powerbank. The Jetson uses 5V/4A on the barrel Jack input. I wanted to confirm before purchasing Pichondria 5V 5A Converter Board if this setup would make sense. Did anyone try it ?

It should work. The only concern would be that the you might want to connect the power directly to the pins or solder a cable with DC barrel end to connect to the board. The power supply should work well 5V/4A.

@tech_user Just ensure that the voltage drop is minimal. Adding connectors usually drops voltage at each of these points of connectivity. Also get a thick wire for the cable to reduce voltage drops. That should be your only concern in this setup. It is just that most designs aren’t for the 4A setup (maybe the wires and connectors aren’t meant to be for 4A) . But if your current draw is minimal, it wouldn’t matter.
Hope it works well in your case!
Please let us know if there are any concerns that you come across or if the setup works well for you!
