The Mauch PL 2-6S dual BEC increases a drone's reliability. It provides two independent 5.3V, 3A outputs from a 2S to 6S LiPo battery, which suits redundant flight controller power or powering several sensitive components.
It is encased in a durable CFK (carbon fibre composite) enclosure, and the listing says this gives stable, clean power and greater safety for critical UAV systems.
It is a switching BEC (SMPS) with high efficiency, typically over 90%, and short-circuit and over-current protection for each output.
Two independent 5.3V outputs: regulated, 3A continuous each.
Wide 2S to 6S input: about 7.4V to 25.2V.
CFK enclosure: durable carbon fibre composite.
Redundant power: ideal for redundant flight controller supply.
Stable power for peripherals: for multiple sensitive components.
Reduced noise: less electrical noise and interference.
Compact and light: 11g without enclosure, 16g with it.
A flight controller such as the Pixhawk 2.1 (Cube) can be fed from two power sources at once. The controller uses the main supply while it is healthy, and a backup supply takes over automatically if the main one drops out, so a single failed regulator does not shut down the whole system in flight.
On large, heavy or expensive aircraft this redundancy is a basic safety measure. Use a second regulator that is physically separate from the first, with its own wiring to the battery, so that one fault cannot take out both sources.
Check both power ports on the ground-station screen before flight, and test the failover on the bench with the propellers removed, so you know the backup takes over as expected.

Replacing a single BEC with a redundant pair
The specification list gives an input of 2S to 6S LiPo (about 7.4V to 25.2V), two independent 5.3V outputs at 3A continuous each, a switching (SMPS) type and high efficiency (typically over 90%). Dimensions are 32 x 36 x 7mm and 11g without the enclosure, and 34 x 38 x 10mm and 16g with it.
The outputs use standard servo-style connectors and the battery input uses bare wires. The package includes the BEC, an enclosure, a sensor cable and a Pixhawk 2.1 backup cable.
