Current Labs PDU

The Current Labs PDU is an 8-channel solid-state power distribution unit for automotive builds. It replaces fuses and relays with eight high-side switched outputs — four rated at 20 A and four at 10 A — each with real-time current monitoring, PWM control (100–1000 Hz), and built-in overcurrent and short-circuit protection backed by a hardware watchdog.

Command channels over CANbus (125K–1M baud, up to 8 units per bus, public DBC file provided) or USB, or run standalone with eight digital inputs driving channels through configurable trigger logic, delays, and pulse timing. Configure and monitor everything — and install firmware updates — with the free PDU Configurator desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Running an AEM PDU-8? The Current Labs PDU is a drop-in replacement in both form and function — it matches the PDU-8's footprint and connections and works in its place right out of the box, at almost half the price, while offering more functionality on a newer, higher-quality hardware design.
