  • Hi-Link 12V 5W Power Module Pinout Documentation
  • The Hi-Link 12V 5W Power Module is a compact switching power supply module designed for IoT applications. This module features a high efficiency and compact design, making it suitable for a wide range of projects. Below is a detailed explanation of each pin on the module:
  • Pinout Structure:
  • The Hi-Link 12V 5W Power Module has a total of 4 pins, arranged in a single row. The pinout structure is as follows:
  • | Pin Number | Pin Name | Description |
  • | --- | --- | --- |
  • | 1 | Vin | Input Voltage |
  • | 2 | GND | Ground |
  • | 3 | Vout | Output Voltage |
  • | 4 | EN | Enable pin |
  • Pin-by-Pin Explanation:
  • 1. Vin (Input Voltage):
  • This pin is used to connect the input power source to the module.
  • The recommended input voltage range is 7-24V DC.
  • Make sure to connect a suitable power source to this pin, as excessive voltage may damage the module.
  • 2. GND (Ground):
  • This pin is the ground connection for the module.
  • Connect this pin to the ground of your project's circuit.
  • Ensure a good ground connection to prevent any noise or interference issues.
  • 3. Vout (Output Voltage):
  • This pin provides the regulated 12V output from the module.
  • The output voltage is fixed at 12V DC, with a maximum current rating of 0.42A (5W).
  • Connect your load or device to this pin, making sure not to exceed the maximum current rating.
  • 4. EN (Enable pin):
  • This pin is used to enable or disable the output voltage.
  • When the EN pin is connected to GND, the output voltage is enabled.
  • When the EN pin is connected to Vin or left floating, the output voltage is disabled.
  • You can use this pin to control the output voltage using a digital signal from a microcontroller or other devices.
  • Connection Guidelines:
  • When connecting the module, ensure that the input voltage is within the recommended range (7-24V DC).
  • Use a suitable gauge wire to connect the input power source to the Vin pin.
  • Connect the GND pin to the ground of your project's circuit.
  • Connect your load or device to the Vout pin, taking care not to exceed the maximum current rating.
  • If you need to control the output voltage, connect the EN pin to a digital output from a microcontroller or other devices.
  • Important Notes:
  • Make sure to follow proper soldering techniques and safety precautions when connecting the pins.
  • Avoid overloading the module, as this may cause damage or overheating.
  • Use a suitable heat sink or thermal management solution if you plan to operate the module at high temperatures.
  • By following these guidelines and understanding the pinout structure of the Hi-Link 12V 5W Power Module, you can ensure a safe and reliable operation of your IoT project.

#define DHTTYPE DHT11
DHT dht(DHTPIN, DHTTYPE);
const char ssid = "your_wifi_ssid";
const char password = "your_wifi_password";
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  dht.begin();
  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(1000);
    Serial.println("Connecting to WiFi...");
  }
  Serial.println("Connected to WiFi");
}
void loop() {
  float temperature = dht.readTemperature();
  float humidity = dht.readHumidity();
  Serial.print("Temperature: ");
  Serial.print(temperature);
  Serial.println(" C");
