LM2596 DC-DC Adjustable Step-Down (Buck) Converter Module – 3A
60.00 EGP
A versatile and efficient DC-to-DC step-down converter capable of driving a 3A load with excellent line and load regulation. Ideal for lowering higher battery or power supply voltages (up to 40V) to safer levels for Arduinos, ESP8266, and other electronics.

Product Overview
The LM2596 is a popular “Buck” converter that efficiently converts a high input voltage into a lower output voltage. Unlike traditional linear regulators (like the L7805), this switching regulator is highly efficient and generates much less heat. It is a must-have for any hobbyist’s toolkit for powering 5V projects from 12V batteries or 24V power supplies.
Arduino & Power Wiring
-

-
IN+: Input Positive (4.5V to 40V)
