Power Distribution Hub Overview

We're Updating our Documentation! For the most up-to-date information about the Power Distribution Hub and other ION Control System Devices please check out the following new documentation pages:

The REV Power Distribution Hub (PDH) is the latest evolution in power distribution for the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC). With 20 high-current (40A max) channels, 3 low-current (15A max), and 1 switchable low-current channel, the PDH gives teams more flexibility for overall power delivery. The Power Distribution Hub features toolless latching WAGO terminals, an LED voltage display, and the ability to connect over CAN or USB-C to the REV Hardware Client for real-time telemetry, making it easier than ever to wire and debug your robot.
