Usage

Getting Started

  1. Connect input power — Connect your DC input source (6V–40V) to the IN+ and IN- terminals. Observe correct polarity.

  2. Connect the load — Connect your device or load to the OUT+ and OUT- terminals.

  3. Adjust output voltage — Using a small screwdriver, turn the onboard potentiometer while measuring the output with a multimeter. Set the desired output voltage before connecting sensitive loads.

  4. Power on and test — Apply input power and verify the output voltage.

  5. Monitor temperature — For sustained high-current operation, monitor the heatsink temperature and ensure adequate ventilation.

Important Notes

  • Input voltage must be higher than output voltage — This is a buck (step-down) converter. The input voltage must always be greater than the desired output voltage by at least 1.5V.

  • Output current and power — The maximum output current is 20A and maximum power is 300W. However, achieving both simultaneously requires adequate cooling and appropriate input/output voltage differential.

  • Heat dissipation — The included heatsink and thermal pads are essential for high-power operation. Ensure adequate airflow around the module.

  • Output current limiting — When driving loads that may draw excessive current, consider adding external fusing or current limiting.

Typical Applications

  • High-power LED drivers — Drive large LED arrays for lighting and signage

  • Industrial control systems — Power equipment and machinery from higher voltage supplies

  • Battery charging — Charge lead-acid, lithium, and other battery packs

  • Solar power applications — Regulate solar panel output for battery charging or direct loads
