For robots that draw >6A, you can still use this connector as a charge jack! In that case, we recommend using our Mini Power Switch between the battery and the robot. (Simply tape off and do no use the "BOT" lead in the below picture.)

Operation:
Inserting the plug breaks the connection between the Battery and the Robot, turning it off. At the same time, it connects the Battery to the plug's Charge and Ground leads allowing the battery to be charged via the plug. Here is how the jack is wired:

Here is an example of the switch connected to our Mini Terminal Blocks for power distribution inside the robot.

Great Switch for the Kids
- 08th March 2021
This switch is much easier for my kids to turn off their bot. It's great knowing that the bot can be turned off quickly without fiddling around with a hex key for the kids.
