MKS SBEC voltage regulators
Planet Soaring report that MKS will soon release the SBEC servo and receiver protecting voltage regulator. Available as 1.5A and 2.0A variant the device is being plugged between the receiver and the servo to create a 5.0V output with 5.1V to 8.4V input. When used with a 7.2V to 8.4V receiver battery a stable output voltage is created with the SBEC also creating a limited 1.5A or 2.0A current to avoid over current damages to the receiver or servo in case of locked control surfaces or the like. Another benefit is the ability to run both standard and high-voltage servos with a 2S LiPo receiver pack.
