This is a placeholder topic for [**“5V 3A BEC Step-Down Voltage Regulator”**](http://core-electronics.com.au/catalog/product/view/sku/POLOLU-2177) comments. ![](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product//5/v/5v_3a_bec_step_down_voltage_regulator __pololu_2177__ 00.jpg) This switching step-down (or buck) voltage regulator takes an input voltage of up to 23 V and reduces it to 5 V with a maximum output current of 3 A. It has 22-AWG input leads with stripped and tinned terminations and a 3-pin “JR”-style servo connector on the output lead.

Hi, I am using the Romeo BLE Mini to run 3 x HS805BB servos which are connected to 2, 3 and 8 on the board. I have it all working, using a 5V 3A power plug into the servo power input on the board, which is powered by USB. I would like to use bluetooth for comms, so I have ordered the BLE Link, remove the USB cable, and just have one power supply to run the board and the servos. Can I splice the power plug I have and hook it into the VIN and Servo power inputs?
