Product Details
What is a buck converter? A buck converter is a DC - to - DC converter. It steps down the input voltage and steps up the output current. Unlike linear regulators, it doesn't waste much power as heat. It consists of a switch, a diode, an inductor, and a capacitor. The switch controls the amount of input voltage reaching the inductor and capacitor, which act as filters to smooth the output voltage and current. Are you still troubled by powering your RGB LED strip correctly or getting smooth servo movement? Don't worry! This 60W DC - DC buck converter solves all these problems. It can convert high - power 12V or 11.1V from a lithium battery to a 5V output. Just one module can provide 60W of power. With an adjustable output voltage from 0.6V to 5.1V and an output current of up to 18A, it can drive a 5m WS2812 RGB LED strip or other low - voltage, high - current devices. Additionally, it has protective functions like short - circuit, over - current, and overheating protection for stable performance. Safe Operating Range: The parameters are tested in typical experiment environments. It's advisable to measure the surface temperature of the converter to decide if heat dissipation needs improvement. When the surface temperature is below 80°C, it performs steadily. Between 80 - 90°C, heat dissipation improvement is recommended. Above 90°C, heat dissipation improvement is necessary as overheat protection may be triggered at any time. Features: It's an industrial - grade module for long - term stable operation, has an adjustable output voltage of 1.8 - 5.1V, and a large output current. Applications: It's suitable for industrial applications, battery - powered devices, LED lighting, and communication equipment. Specification: Input Voltage: 9V - 15V; Output Voltage: 0.6V - 5.1V; Output Current: 18A (Active Dissipation); Output Power: 60W (Active Dissipation); Conversion Efficiency: 92% (Typical); Outline Dimension: 52×37mm/2.05×1.46”. Documents: Product wiki, Dimensional Drawings. Shipping List: One 60W Adjustable DC - DC Buck Converter, two 2Pin Terminal Blocks, and one Aluminum Heat Sink.
Using this 60W adjustable DC - DC buck converter is easy. First, make sure the input voltage is within the 9V - 15V range. Connect the power source to the input terminals and the device you want to power to the output terminals. You can adjust the output voltage according to your needs, which can range from 0.6V to 5.1V. This converter is great for powering things like RGB LED strips or other low - voltage, high - current devices. When using it, pay attention to the surface temperature. Measure it regularly. If it gets too hot, above 90°C, the overheat protection might kick in, so you need to improve heat dissipation right away. For maintenance, keep it clean and dry. Check the connections periodically to make sure they're secure. This industrial - grade module is built for long - term use, but following these simple steps will help it perform at its best for a long time.
