Feb 25, 2016 at 16:13 comment added aaa @goobering with some heatshrinking/connectors it might actually look better and be detachable. (Than I could tape/glue the connector to the RPI, which is indeed messy xD, but I don't trust those micro USB's)

Feb 25, 2016 at 16:07 comment added aaa And I was thinking of using a 24V supply, which won't do over the USB in. But by combining Joans' answer and your, it might actually work reasonable.
Feb 25, 2016 at 16:04 comment added aaa @goldilocks, I actually considered that (and should have mentioned). I skipped that option after I couldn't find any "microusb screwterminal connectors". Good solution, but I want to use it in a "industrial" application where I use a DIN rail with an enclosure. It might not have that much room at the side and those USB connector is a bit loose.
Feb 25, 2016 at 14:30 comment added goobering I've done that more than once. Works fine/looks messy. :)
Feb 25, 2016 at 14:30 comment added goldilocks I know this is a total hack solution (hackier than goobering's) and I haven't tried it yet myself (I'm thinking about it for something), but: Why not just cut off a micro-USB adapter and attach the appropriate leads to an ~5V supply, then plug that into the pi (obvious disadvantage is it takes up space)?

Feb 25, 2016 at 14:27 comment added goobering Might it be easier to replace the existing micro USB socket with a hookup to your 5V regulator, or identify another suitable point before the Pi's own protection devices where you could apply your 5V?
