This high-power DC-DC buck converter steps a 6V to 14V input down to a steady 5V output, with up to 8A available for demanding 5V projects.
Its compact body, strong heat dissipation and high conversion ratio make it a practical power module for embedded builds. It is compatible with 5V mainboards and can also be used as an SMD component, allowing it to be soldered directly onto a PCB.
Designed for stable long-term output with minimal voltage shift, it suits higher-current applications such as smart home devices, small robot cars and other 5V power systems.
Features:
- Small in size
- 40W high power output
- Over 96% conversion ratio
- Can be used as SMD component
Specifications:
- Input Voltage Range: 6V-14V
- Output Voltage: 5V
- Output Current: 0-8A
- Voltage Accuracy: ±1%
- Full-load Output Ripple: <30mV
- Conversion Ratio: >96% (12V input, full-load output)
- Static Current: <200uA
- Operating Temperature: 0°C~70°C
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- Buck converter
- A power circuit that reduces a higher DC voltage to a lower DC voltage. It is useful when your supply voltage is too high for a module or microcontroller and you want less heat and better efficiency than a simple linear regulator.
- DC
- DC means direct current, where electricity flows in one constant direction, as supplied by batteries, USB ports and many plug-pack power supplies. When a product specifies DC, it runs from a DC supply rather than mains AC, so you need to provide the correct voltage and polarity.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board (PCB) is a board, usually rigid, with etched copper tracks that connect electronic components together without loose wiring. Components are mounted on the board and signals route between them through the copper layout.
- SMD
- SMD means surface-mount device, a component style designed to be soldered directly onto the surface of a circuit board rather than through holes. SMD parts are compact and mounted flat on the board, which suits smaller and mass-produced designs.
