General

  • Product Type: DC-DC Step-Down (Buck) Converter Module
  • Function: Converts higher DC voltage (e.g. 12V) to stable 3.3V output
  • Conversion Type: Switching Regulator (High Efficiency)

Input

  • Input Voltage Range: 5V – 23V DC (typical)
  • Recommended Input: 7V – 18V DC
  • Input Interface:
    • Screw terminal (VIN / GND)
    • DC barrel jack (5.5 × 2.1mm)

Output

  • Output Voltage: 3.3V (fixed)
  • Max Output Current: up to 3A (peak)
  • Recommended Current: 1.5A – 2A for stable operation
  • Output Interface: Screw terminal (VOUT / GND)

Performance

  • Efficiency: Up to 90–95%
  • Switching Frequency: ~150 kHz (typical)
  • Ripple: Low ripple output (suitable for microcontrollers)
  • Thermal Protection: Yes
  • Overcurrent Protection: Yes

Features

  • High-efficiency step-down conversion (better than linear regulators)
  • Stable 3.3V output for sensitive electronics
  • Onboard power switch (easy control)
  • Multiple connection options (terminal + DC jack)
  • Compact and easy to integrate

Interface & Pins

  • Input: VIN+, VIN-
  • Output: VOUT+, VOUT-
  • Additional Headers: Breakout pins for easy wiring

Physical

  • Form Factor: Compact PCB module
  • Mounting: 4 mounting holes

Applications

  • ESP32 / ESP8266 power supply
  • Raspberry Pi (3.3V peripherals)
  • Arduino projects
  • Sensors & communication modules
  • DIY electronics and robotics

Important Notes

  • Ensure correct polarity before powering
  • For high current (>2A), provide cooling
  • Input voltage must be higher than 3.3V
