This 40W high power DC-DC Buck converter offers a 6~14V input voltage range and up to 5V/8A output. Featuring a small body, high conversion ratio, strong heat dissipation, and large current output, the module is compatible with all 5V main-boards, and can work as an SMD element to be directly soldered onto PCB. With steady output, this buck converter is able to work for a long time without voltage shift, which can be suitable for projects of high requirements like smart homes, small robot car power sources, etc.

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.
