The LM2596 Buck Voltage Converter is a reliable step-down DC-DC module that efficiently converts higher input voltages to lower, stable output voltages. Ideal for powering Arduino projects, sensors, motors, and other electronics, this converter provides high efficiency and stable performance for a wide range of applications.

Key Features:
  • Adjustable Output Voltage: Easily set output voltage from 1.25V to 35V to match your project needs.
  • High Efficiency: Up to 92% conversion efficiency reduces energy loss and heat generation.
  • Low Ripple Output: Ensures stable and clean power for sensitive components.
  • Wide Input Voltage Range: Supports 3.2V to 46V input, making it versatile for various DC power sources.
  • Compact Design: Small and lightweight, ideal for DIY electronics and embedded projects.
  • LED Version Available: For a version with real-time voltage monitoring, see the LM2596 LED Voltage Buck/Step-Down Converter Regulator.
  • Step-Up Alternative: If you need to increase voltage instead of stepping it down, consider the XL6009 Step-Up Voltage Converter.
