10KΩ thermistor with a 3380K B value, in an 0603 SMD package\n\n## Installation\n\n- If you are doing a motherboard trim that will trim off C5 or C189, desolder these and save them\n- If you are doing a NAND relocation which removes C200, desolder this and save it\n- Solder the connector and any rescued capacitors to the board by hand or using a hot plate\n- Place board on the Wii motherboard, it should self-align\n- Solder the pads on the edge of the board to the Wii motherboard\n  - 1V0 to the top of C143\n  - 1V15 to the left of C17\n  - 1V8 to the via array at the top left. You may wish to scratch away some solder mask to have more copper to solder to.\n  - 3V3 to the top of C128\n  - GND to the bottom of C180 and C143\n- Use plenty of solder and flux!\n\n## C189 height\n\nSome motherboard revisions have a very tall (~2.9mm) C189 capacitor, which can interfere with heatplates if you are relocating it. If you have one of these boards, you may wish to consider purchasing a lower profile capacitor. As long as it is a 220uF, 6.3V+, 2917 or 2312 SMD package capacitor it should work fine. The Kyocera AVX NOJY227M006RWJ is a low profile version of the original cap used on the Wii. The TAJX227K006RNJ or TAJY227K006RNJ should also both work.\n\n## RVL-PMS Companion Board\n\nIf you want to use Power Strip with the 4Layer Technologies [RVL-PMS-2](https://4layertech.com/products/rvl-pms-2), or [RVL-PMS-Lite](https://4layertech.com/products/pms2-lite) boards, [Y2K](https://github.com/y2k-x) has kindly designed a carrier board called the *Power Strip PMS Companion*, which is included in this repository for convenience.\n\nYou can read more about it in the [pms-companion](pms-companion) directory.\n\n![Power Strip PMS Companion](pms-companion/images/render-front.png)\n\n## License\n\nPermissively released under the Solderpad Hardware License v2.1\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Floopj%2Fwii-power-strip","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Floopj%2Fwii-power-strip","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Floopj%2Fwii-power-strip/lists"}
