Adjustable buck-boost regulator
This switching voltage regulator steps DC voltage up or down to maintain a stable regulated output. It accepts an input range of 4.5-30V DC and provides an adjustable output from .5-30V. The module includes a heatsink, input fuse, undervoltage protection, short-circuit protection, and dual-stage output filtering for clean power delivery. It suits microcontroller, LED, automotive, and computer DC power projects.
30 W continuous capacity with fan headroom
The unit delivers a maximum output current of 3 A and a continuous power rating of 30 W. With an external cooling fan added, the maximum power capacity increases to 60 W. Efficiency ranges from 87-91% in boost mode and 86-90% in buck mode, varying with the voltage difference between input and output. The 180 kHz switching frequency keeps output ripple below 30 mV under load.
Stand-alone module physical limits
The regulator measures 54x29x21 mm and uses a stand-alone mounting style without integrated mounting holes. Thermal performance relies on the included heatsink; sustained operation at higher power levels requires forced airflow from an external fan. The input fuse and undervoltage protection guard against supply faults, while the output short-circuit protection limits damage during wiring errors.

Questions about this item
Can the 30 W buck-boost module accept a 4.5 V input from an older battery pack and still deliver a stable 5 V output?
Yes, the input range starts at 4.5 V and the output can be set from 0.5 V to 30 V, so a 5 V output is within range.
How can I verify the regulator is operating correctly after wiring it?
Measure the output with a multimeter; it should read your set voltage between 0.5 V and 30 V with ripple below 30 mV at up to 3 A load.
What accessories are included and what must I source separately?
The module ships with a heatsink, an input fuse and dual-stage output filtering built in; a cooling fan for 60 W operation and any input power source or wiring are not included.
