=Overview= This page contains a list of community verified accessories & peripherals for PandaBoard. The official list of verified accessories is at PandaBoard.org.

Power supply
The PandaBoard needs a 5Vdc power supply:
 * The official PandBoard.org accessories page recommends the Digi-Key T951-P5P-ND (5V/4A). However, that part is now obsolete.  The new part as of 15 April 2011 is: Digi-Key 993-1019-ND.  The power cord is a separate part.  For example, the 3-prong cord for North America is: Digi-Key 993-1039-ND.
 * Caution (from the System Reference Manual): Only use a 5Vdc regulated power supply to power the PandaBoard. Connecting a supply with an output higher than +5Vdc could cause possible board damage.
 * Is 4A really necessary? This depends on the configuration you use, mainly how you supply the attached USB devices. If you intend to fully load the USB ports, yes you need a 4A power supply. But with all USB devices on a powered hub the PandaBoard uses e.g. 560mA @ 5V. So a 1.5A supply should be OK as long as you don't load up on directly connected USB devices.
 * The plug packs which come with USB hubs are usually rated 5V 2A. They are fine subject to limitations as above.

CASE
High quality, powder coated, scratch resistant, white steel case for the PandaBoard and PandaBoard ES. The Pandaboard or Pandaboard ES can be easily mounted with just 4 screws. The case also allows for the mounting of the external WiFi/Bluetooth antenna (not included).
