GO! – Portable 2hp USB C Eurorack Power Supply

The Rakit GO! will take care of your portable eurorack fix. Now you’ll be able to take your modules everywhere.
What’s more, the GO! has a slew of protection features built in, protecting your GO! module, supply/powerbank and
greatly reducing the chance of damage to modules through user error. The power supply has a robust and reversible
USB C connector for the best possible USB connection. The GO! has been engineered from the ground up to make full
use of 5V powerbanks/supplies that are widely available on the market. At only 2hp wide and 27mm deep, GO! is ready
to fit in any case.

We have taken the guesswork out of getting a good USB C cable, one is provided!

To start using your GO! power supply you will need a passive bus board and your choice of 5V powerbank or USB AC adapter. Our passive Sticky bus board is perfect for your typical lunchbox setup and as the name implies.. its sticky!

Protection Features

Supply/Powerbank protection – reverse voltage, overcurrent (fast eFuse)

GO! Input protection – reverse voltage, overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent (fast eFuse)

Module protection – all rails current limited and overvoltage protected

+12V & -12V LEDs indicate bus health (very dim below +-11.75V)

What’s included?

• GO! Module
• 18W High Quality USB C Cable
• 16 way ribbon cable
• 2 x M3 Screws
• Manual

Specifications

• 2hp wide x 27mm deep

Max Current Ratings:

• +12V @ 500mA
• -12V @ 300mA
• +5V dependant on overall system current use (5V can optionally be disconnected via a rear jumper)

These ratings are achievable with a 5V/2.4A supply/powerbank.

Powerbank recommendation & run-time

We have been using Anker powerbanks extensively throughout testing and during demos. In particular, the Anker Powercore 20100 works with the GO! flawlessly and retails at around £40. We have used the power pack with a small rig for over 8 hours. At full load a 20000mAh powerbank should last around 5 hours (given a powerbank efficiency of 90%).

20000mAh*3.7V = 74Watt hours

74Wh/12W = 6.16 Hours

6.16 Hours @90% efficiency = 5.55 Hours

How many HP will it power?

We think between 48hp and 84hp is a reasonable target, but it’s possible to get more (or less) modules depending on how power hungry they are. Some of the most recent mutable instruments modules, for example, are very power friendly (50mA for a 12hp plaits)
