150W DC-DC Boost Converter – 10-32V to 12-35V Adjustable Step-Up Module

The 150W DC-DC Boost Converter is a high-power adjustable step-up voltage regulator designed to convert a lower DC input voltage into a higher, regulated DC output voltage.

With an input range of 10–32V DC and an adjustable output of 12–35V DC, the module is suitable for automotive electronics, battery-powered projects, robotics, portable power systems, LED applications, and DIY adjustable power supplies.

The onboard potentiometer allows the output voltage to be adjusted according to the requirements of the connected load.

Adjustable Step-Up Voltage

This module is a boost converter, meaning its purpose is to increase the input voltage.

For example, it can be used to convert:

12V → 15V

12V → 19V

12V → 24V

24V → 30V

24V → 35V

The required output voltage is adjusted using the onboard potentiometer.

Because this is a boost-only converter, the desired output voltage must be higher than the actual input voltage. It cannot regulate an output below the input voltage.

Up to 150W Output Power

The module can deliver up to approximately 100W with natural air cooling under suitable operating conditions.

For operation approaching 150W, additional forced-air cooling such as a fan is required.

Actual usable power depends on:

  • Input Voltage
  • Output Voltage
  • Load Current
  • Ambient Temperature
  • Airflow
  • Input Power Supply Capability
  • Wiring and Connector Quality

Continuous operation close to the module's maximum ratings requires careful thermal management.

High Conversion Efficiency

Conversion efficiency can reach approximately 94% under suitable input/output conditions.

High efficiency reduces wasted power and heat compared with linear voltage-regulation methods, making the module useful for battery-powered and higher-power DC applications.

Efficiency will vary according to the voltage conversion ratio and load current.

Automotive & Battery Applications

The converter is particularly useful with 12V battery systems where a higher voltage is required.

For example, a 12V battery source can be boosted to approximately 19V for compatible equipment or to 24V for suitable electronics and control systems.

Always verify the voltage, current, polarity, and power requirements of the connected equipment before use.

Output Voltage Adjustment

Before connecting sensitive equipment:

  • 1. Connect the input power supply.
  • 2. Measure the output using a multimeter.
  • 3. Adjust the onboard potentiometer slowly.
  • 4. Set the required output voltage.
  • 5. Verify the voltage again.
  • 6. Only then connect the load.

This helps prevent accidental overvoltage damage to the connected device.

Cooling Requirements

The onboard heatsinks help dissipate heat generated by the switching components.

For lower-power applications, natural airflow may be sufficient.

For higher-power operation, especially above approximately 100W, additional forced-air cooling is recommended.

If the ambient temperature exceeds approximately 40°C, the operating power should be reduced or additional cooling provided.

Protection Considerations

This module does not provide built-in short-circuit protection.

An appropriately rated input fuse or external overcurrent protection is strongly recommended.

The module also does not provide reverse-polarity protection. Reversing the input polarity can damage the converter.

Always verify:

  • IN+ → Positive Input
  • IN− → Negative Input
  • OUT+ → Positive Output
  • OUT− → Negative Output

before applying power.

Applications

Ideal for DC voltage boosting, automotive electronics, 12V battery projects, laptop power experiments, robotics, LED systems, portable power supplies, solar projects, battery systems, DIY bench power supplies, industrial electronics, embedded systems, and general DC power conversion.

Important Note

The advertised 150W rating is a maximum rating requiring adequate forced-air cooling and suitable electrical conditions. For natural convection operation, approximately 100W maximum is a more appropriate limit.

Maximum output current also depends on the voltage conversion ratio and thermal conditions. The module should not be assumed to deliver its maximum current and maximum voltage simultaneously.

This is a non-isolated boost converter. Input and output grounds are electrically connected.

There is no short-circuit or reverse-polarity protection, so external protection should be added when appropriate.

Always set and verify the output voltage with a multimeter before connecting sensitive electronics.
