Arcade Power supply
« on: June 17, 2016, 07:45:20 am »
Hi All, Iv'e started to work on my own Arcade project centralised with a raspberry PI 3 as the main driver, I've spent a lot of time looking at what elements I need to include what's best etc. My current issue is around power. I want have a single power supply at the back of the unit I've looked at installing a arcade power supply like this for example http://www.arcadeworlduk.com/products/Black-Arcade-JAMMA-Power-Supply.html . I will have the following power supplies

1. 12v Power for Illuminated buttons
2. 12v Power for Speakers
3. Raspberry PI3 2.5 Amp
4. Monitor - Standard UK power
5. Top display light - Standard UK

So my question is I have multiples of for example 12v, can I attach more than 1 item to each terminal so could I for example connect Lights&Speakers together on the same 12v terminal as I only have one. And again could I strip the power cables on the Montior and Top display light and attach them both to the AC

Thanks in advance

Why not just use a single ATX power supply and pull your various voltages from that?  Then you have ONE power supply in the system, much less of a change of ground issues.
