Integrated External Servo Power Solution?

Hi,
I am using three sizeable servos ( DGS S05NF). Distributors say powering them through the Arduino will result in damage (link below)
Servo DGS S90 S05NF - medium Botland - Robotic Shop.

Currently, the idea is to supply a external regulated DC voltage source to the three servos from the following wall adapter (GF18-US24075T)
Goforward Enterprise Corporation

The Schematic looks like the one below (if the link is not broken :grimacing:) but ideally, the barrel jack on the breadboard would be a regulated 5 volt supply.

My question is, is there a device that can provide an integrated solution to avoid the breadboard?
The current setup is a a bit tight (I have omitted many other components as they are not relevant).

Oh dear !

Luckily you spotted the mistake

You could solder the three red wires to the + side of the power jack and solder the four black wires (including the one to connect to Arduino ground) to the - side of the power jack.

You could use a Wago connector if you want to avoid soldering.
Easy, reusable, goes down to 24g wire. Avaiable from many sources.

Thank you for the very quick replies!

I guess I was hoping someone would be aware of a device similar to what is linked below but

  • Connection to a breadboard is not required

  • Minimum 3 pairs of Female connectors ( + and ground) on the board also.

As always, thank you to everyone who replied. It really does help a lot!

I don't know of any ready made solution for what you need... it is a pretty custom order :smile:

You could take a barrel jack adapter and wire it to the Uno and use a 3-way splitter adapter for the servos?

Alternatively, get a PCB mount barrel jack and using a perf-board, manually wire 3 sets of headers for the servos.
