Product details
A closer look at this product.
This LM2596-based buck converter reduces a higher DC input to a lower adjustable output for prototypes, repairs, power projects, and hobby electronics. The onboard potentiometer allows the output to be set for a compatible load, making the board useful when a fixed supply voltage does not match the circuit requirement.
The supplier lists a 7–35V DC input range, 1.25–30V adjustable DC output, maximum output current of 3A, and efficiency up to 92%. Real continuous-current capability and temperature depend on input/output difference, airflow, wiring, load, and cooling. The module is non-isolated and does not provide mains isolation.
Measure the output with a multimeter before connecting sensitive equipment. Observe polarity, remain within the listed electrical limits, insulate exposed conductors, and add cooling or protection appropriate to the project. This is a circuit-level component for users familiar with DC electronics; disconnect power before wiring or adjustment. Use a fuse on the input side where appropriate and verify that the connected load does not exceed the module’s safe operating capability.
