Keyes LM2596S DC-DC Step Down Power Module

This is a high power DC to DC power converter which steps down the voltage but steps up the current from its input supply to its output load. It does this by using 2 x semiconductors and an LM2596S main chip. The unit is extremely efficient (around 90%) and utilises a dual mode LED readout (input and output) and a potentiometer for you to adjust the output voltage. 2 mounting holes are supplied in the PCB to allow you to mount the module to other devices.

This unit has many many uses including Arduino/Funduino/Kingduino and robotic projects, another being that it is perfect for stepping down voltages such as the 12V found in computers down to the 5V required for USB devices.

Specs:
Input Voltage: 4.5~24V (Do not exceed max limit otherwise you will damage the unit)
Output Voltage 1.3~22V (Buck mode: The input must be greater than the output by 2V or more)
Output Current: 1.5A continuous
Output Power: Up to 15W
Ripple Frequency: Approx 150Khz
Ripple Peak: Approx 100mV
Static Power Consumption: Approx 20mA
Dimensions: 62 x 26 x 14mm
