About this item

The LM2596S with SMD LED DC-DC Step-Down Power Supply is a versatile and efficient voltage regulator module designed for various electronic applications. Operating within an input voltage range of 3V to 40V, it provides an adjustable output voltage from 1.5V to 35V, accommodating a wide array of devices requiring different voltage levels. The module delivers a rated output current of 2A, with a maximum capacity of 3A, making it suitable for powering components like microcontrollers, sensors, and motors. To ensure optimal performance under higher loads, the inclusion of a heatsink is recommended when operating near the maximum current rating. One of the standout features of this module is its high conversion efficiency, reaching up to 92%, which minimizes energy loss and heat generation, contributing to the longevity and stability of connected components. The LM2596S operates at a switching frequency of 150kHz, allowing for the use of smaller filter components compared to lower frequency regulators. This characteristic is particularly beneficial in compact electronic designs where space is limited. Additionally, the module is equipped with an SMD (Surface-Mounted Device) LED indicator, providing a clear visual indication of power status. With its compact dimensions of 45mm x 20mm x 14mm, it is well-suited for integration into various projects, from DIY electronics to professional applications.
