      I just ordered a PowerBlock and need 5V and Ground only when PI is on for IOT switch. Are any of the connectors on the PowerBlock capable of putting out 5V only when the PI is on and remove the power when the PowerBlock is turned off.

        Yes, the PowerBlock has dedicated 5V output pins that get powered when the RPi is switched and and are turned off, when the RPi is safely shut down.

        These pins are label with "+ OUT -" on the top side of the PowerBlock (see https://www.petrockblock.com/product/powerblock/).

        I hope that helps!

            @vabchgent The orders are usually shipped within five working days. Shipping to the US then can vary between two and six weeks as I was reported from other customers. I keep my fingers crossed that your order arrives as soon as possible!
