- Disconnect the power supply before connecting the module.
- Identify the input and output terminals using the markings on the actual circuit board.
- Connect a compatible DC input supply with the correct polarity.
- Before attaching sensitive electronics, measure the output with a multimeter.
- Adjust the onboard potentiometer until the required output voltage is reached.
- Confirm that the voltage and current requirements of the connected device are within the module\'s supported limits.
- Check the output again after connecting the load.
Important: This is a step-down converter, not a voltage booster. It cannot produce an output voltage higher than its input. Adequate voltage headroom is required for proper regulation.
Package Includes
1 x LM2596 Adjustable DC-DC Step-Down Voltage Regulator Module
Power supply, multimeter, wiring, enclosure, and other demonstration accessories are not included unless specifically stated in the listing.
Important Notes & Safety Information
- Use with compatible DC power supplies only.
- Check input/output polarity carefully before applying power.
- Measure and adjust the output voltage before connecting sensitive equipment.
- The achievable output voltage depends on the supplied input voltage and operating conditions.
- Do not exceed the module\'s verified current, thermal, or voltage limits.
- Provide suitable ventilation and thermal management for your application.
- This is a non-isolated DC-DC converter and is not intended for direct connection to household AC mains.
- Do not use it as a standalone battery charger without confirming that the complete circuit provides the charging and protection functions required by the battery.
- Actual product appearance may vary slightly due to manufacturing variations, lighting, and screen settings.
