Introducing the PLEX PDM-13® — the smallest solid-state Power Distribution Module in motorsport.
Solid-state PDMs aren't a new category. MoTeC, Link, ECUMASTER, HP Electrtonik and others have been shipping them for years, and they've genuinely changed how serious race vehicles are wired. We're not first to this conversation — and we won't pretend otherwise. What we've spent a long time on is what we'd do differently when we joined it.
The PDM-13 is the answer.
The first thing that makes it different is size. 13 high-side outputs, 100 amps of continuous current, in a 215-gram CNC-machined aluminium enclosure measuring 54 × 80 × 34 millimetres. There is no smaller pro-level PDM in the motorsport segment — at any output level. That isn't a vanity spec. It changes what's possible at the installation level. A single PDM-13 can manage the entire electrical system of a motorcycle, where larger PDMs simply don't fit. Across a car or prototype, the small footprint makes distributed multi-unit setups practical: power delivered locally to each zone of the vehicle, harness runs cut dramatically, fault isolation built into the architecture itself. The distributed approach has always been the strongest argument for solid-state power distribution — the PDM-13's size makes it more accessible than it has ever been.
Compact doesn't mean compromised. Advanced thermal engineering maintains consistent performance under load, and vibration-tolerant construction ensures stable operation even in the most demanding environments. The IP67 sealing, CNC-machined enclosure, and operating range from −40 °C to +85 °C are the visible part of that engineering. The thermal and mechanical design behind them is what makes the rest of the spec sheet meaningful.
The second thing is the software. Every output is configurable down to the detail — current limits, electronic fusing, PWM frequency, soft-start ramps, inrush handling, reset behaviour. CAN-FD for high-speed communication. Built-in functional modules for left/right/hazard flashers and multi-speed wipers with stop-position control. An onboard calculation engine for executing logic on the device itself. A preloaded library of CAN protocol templates for major aftermarket ECUs and OEM platforms.
What's distinctive isn't any one of those features. It's that they all configure through PLEX Device Manager 2.0 — the same unified software that drives our dash displays, knock detection systems and boost controllers. One toolchain across the entire range. The teams already running PLEX hardware get the PDM-13 with no new learning curve. Teams new to PLEX get a software environment they can use across every product they buy from us, now and later.
That integration is the part of the PDM-13 we're most proud of. It's the thing that's hardest to deliver, the thing competitors with broader product ranges struggle with, and the thing that we think makes this PDM worth the time we took to bring it to market.
