Pocket Powerbox Micro provides compact 12 V distribution and dew control without a downstream USB hub. Four 12 V outputs operate as one switched bank, with a combined 10 A rating. The unit measures 66 × 66 × 24 mm and weighs 115 g.
Two independent RCA PWM channels provide up to 5 A each, with automatic dew control using the environmental sensor. A separate adjustable 3 A output offers 3, 5, 7, 8, 9 or 12 V for a compatible camera or accessory.
USB 2.0 Type-B connects the Micro to its control computer. Unity, ASCOM, INDI and INDIGO support power switching and environmental reporting. The sensor connects by RJ12, and stored settings allow standalone operation.
Use a 12–13.8 V centre-positive 2.1 mm supply, sizing the complete load within the input limit. Two M3 holes spaced 27.5 mm apart provide mounting points for compatible Pegasus accessories.
