Made in Mainland China.
Key Features
- Wide Input Voltage Range: Accepts 6V–40V DC input (10V–40V recommended) for versatile application compatibility.
- Adjustable Output: Output voltage precisely tunable from 1.2V to 36V DC; output current up to 20A (15A recommended for sustained use).
- High Efficiency: Up to 96% conversion efficiency, measured at 20A converting 24V to 12V — minimizes energy waste and heat generation.
- Dual MOS Tube Design: Built with 75V/80A large-current dual MOS transistors for robust, reliable power handling.
- Low Ripple Output: High-frequency, low-resistance electrolytic capacitors on both input and output ensure stable, clean power (output ripple ≤50mV).
- Large-Current 30A Screw Terminals: Secure and convenient wiring for high-current applications.
- Dual Heat Sinks: Two integrated heat sinks enhance thermal dissipation, keeping the module running cool under load.
- Self-Recovery Short Circuit Protection: Built-in protection automatically recovers from brief short circuits (avoid prolonged short circuits).
- Enable (EN) Control: Low-voltage level shuts off output; suspension/high-voltage level enables output — great for controlled power switching.

Usage Notes
When there is a large difference between input and output voltage, reduce the power and current to prevent excessive heat buildup. When input and output share a common ground, the CV potentiometer controls constant voltage output and the CC potentiometer controls constant current output.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the maximum continuous output current for this DC-DC buck converter module?
A: The module supports a maximum output current of 20A, though for sustained, long-term operation a continuous current of 15A is recommended to ensure longevity and stable performance. Always ensure adequate airflow around the dual heat sinks during high-current use.
Q: Can I use this buck converter step-down module as an LED driver?
A: Yes. This module features both constant voltage (CV) and constant current (CC) adjustment modes, making it well-suited as an LED driver. Set the output voltage and current via the onboard potentiometers to match your LED string requirements for stable, flicker-free operation.
Q: What input voltage range does this step-down voltage module support?
A: The input voltage range is 6V to 40V DC, with 10V to 40V recommended for optimal performance. The output voltage is adjustable from 1.2V to 36V DC — just ensure the output voltage is always lower than the input voltage, as this is a step-down (buck) converter.
Q: Does this buck converter module have short circuit protection?
A: Yes, the module includes self-recovery short circuit protection. It will automatically recover after a brief short circuit event. Prolonged short circuits should be avoided, as they can damage the module over time.
