Hello @BerndNeuroth,

I’m not sure I fully understand your question, but there are several ways to power the balenaFin.

1- Through the barrel jack  
2- Through the phoenix-type connector  
3- Through pins 2 and 4 from the HAT connector (5V only)

Let me know if that answers your questions.  
Cheers,  
Nico.
