-It is possible to [enable 5 V power on the VUSB or VBUS pin on Nano boards](https://support.arduino.cc/hc/en-us/articles/360014779679-Enable-5-V-power-on-the-VUSB-or-VBUS-pin-on-Nano-boards) that operate at 3.3 V. On all of these boards (except the Nano ESP32), two VUSB pads must be shorted in order to enable the VUSB pin. On the Nano ESP 32, the VBUS pin is enabled by default and these two pads are not present.
+On Nano boards that operate at 3.3 V, USB power (~5 V) can be supplied directly to the VUSB/VBUS/5V pin. On some boards, a VUSB jumper pad must be bridged to enable this pin.

+
+Many Arduino Nano boards are powered by 3.3 V but include a dedicated pin—labeled VUSB, VBUS, or 5V—that can output power from the USB port. This pin provides direct access to the 5 V line coming from the USB connection and can be used to power external components such as sensors, modules, or LEDs, while the board itself continues running at 3.3 V.

+
+## Before you begin
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> Do not connect the VUSB/VBUS/5V pin to any of the other pins on the board.
+
+* The VUSB/VBUS/5V pin outputs power directly from the USB connector when enabled.
+* Power from the USB supply can range from 4.4 V to 5.5 V, per USB specifications.
+* Do not connect the VUSB/VBUS/5V pin to any of the other pins on the board. Supplying 5 V to other pins can permanently damage the board.
+
+---
+
+## Requirements for supported boards
+
+There are two main requirements for using the "VUSB" pin:
+
+* The board must be powered via USB. If you power the board through other means—such as a battery connected to Vin or a 3.3 V supply—the pin will not output anything.
+* On some boards, the VUSB line must be enabled by connecting a pair of jumper pads.
+
+The table below summarizes which Nano boards support 5 V output, what the output pin is called, and whether any action is required to enable it.

+## Solder VUSB jumper pads (if required) {#solder-vusb-jumper-pads}
+
+Some boards have jumper pads that need to be connected to enable VUSB output:

+To enable VUSB power on these boards, two unconnected solder pads labeled for VUSB must be shorted with solder or a zero-ohm resistor. This forms a bridge that allows USB power to reach the VUSB/VBUS pin.
+
+### Find the VUSB pads on the bottom side of the board
+
+On all supported boards, you can find a set of VUSB jumper pads on the bottom side of the board.

+
+### Find the VUSB pads on the top side of the board
+
+These boards include an additional jumper on the top side of the board. You can use either the top or bottom jumper to enable VUSB.
