10 Pack LM2596 DC-DC Buck Converter Step Down Module Power Supply DIP Output 1.25V-30V 3A

Summary: - Drops 14-12v to 6.5v and holds the output at the set point across that range. - This board is cheaper than the switching voltage regulator component alone. - Can it really be an authentic LM2496S - who knows, do we care? - Basic reference circuitry with an adjustable potentiometer - right for more, left for less. -- For fixed applications (like mine) you could nuke that pot and slap in a fixed value resistor. - For low power functionality - delete the LED and 102 (1,000 Ohm) resistor. -- You'll lose the 'on' indicator LED and its companion resistor, but Ohms law doesn't lie. -- Post operation, no load power use dropped from 0.010A to 0.007A - no puns, that's a 30% improvement. - Dodging name brand over pricing. - There are probably better ways to do this, don't be hatin'. Using this device to step down 14-12v to 6.5v to power remote trail cameras with slightly more available 12v deep cycle batteries vs the 6v alternative. Testing on the bench, no-load showed this device was capable of performing as advertised. I don't have a scope so I can't comment on output noise, still chunked a MLCC (better capacitor) on flipside of the board across the existing output cap - it was 'used' so whatever, gave myself an 'E' for low-ESR. - I'll digress. Generally speaking it makes sense from a user/support perspective to go with the manufacturer 'name brand' accessories for these remote units. But I couldn't resist the penny pinching backside of mine to not go DIY on this one - and you'll see why if you choose to hang in here for another paragraph (or so). For a quantity of 10x at this time, these boards are $1.35/each - the LM2596S alone, is $2.50+ component from the component superstores mouser or digi-key. Most likely this is a ghost shift LM2596S, thank you (big semiconductor corp here) for doing business with China and/or letting the design slip, now I'm doing business with them. I only feel slightly guilty, but you're a bunch of penny pinching trolls too so don't even. Now that the ethics, China, and money bag corporation rants are set aside my fiscal justification for going this route: - OEM part (connectors, cable, regulator, and plug) cost $14.99+TAX - This part, some janky-as copper clad aluminum cable, and the wrong sized plugs resulting in a direct connect plus battery spades, cost <$3.00/each. Most likely the OEM did the same thing, but with some ill volume discounts, meaning they're taking your $12 after materials straight to the bank. Keeping my $12, doing this thing - forgot to indicate - yes the battery side will be fused, I don't need a big-as forest fire on my conscience.

I use these to lower voltage and power consumption from the propane solenoid switch on our camper. Lowers amp consumption from 21 amp/ day to 8, and solenoid does not get burning hot. I use 5 volts. I must have given or installed dozens of these things to camper friends.

Llego muy rápido y funcionan a la perfección, muy buena atención.

Works great! I use them to reduce 15V voltage to power LED post lights, which require 1.2V. The output resistor needs to be adjusted to reduce voltage because by default the output voltage it too high.

They work as stated. Just take your time and adjust
